SIBI-P1 G4983-02

whole-bodies (neuter plural nominative/accusative)

Morphological NotesNoun, neuter plural; appears as nominative plural (NNP) or accusative plural (ANP). In Greek, neuter nominative and accusative forms are identical in the plural.
Rendering Rationaleσῶμα derives from the idea of being "sound" or "whole" (related to σῴζω, to save/make whole), thus "whole-body" preserves the sense of an integrated, complete physical entity. The form σώματα is neuter plural and functions as either nominative or accusative, so the rendering reflects plural "bodies" while noting its case flexibility in Greek syntax.
