SIBI-P1 G3196-04
a body-member
| Morphological Notes | Noun; nominative case; neuter gender; singular number (Gr,N,,,,,NNS,). Functions typically as subject or predicate nominative in the clause. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "body-member" preserves the concrete sense of μέλος as a limb or physical part belonging to a body, while also allowing its metaphorical extension to a member of a collective body. The form is nominative neuter singular, reflected by the singular English expression "a body-member," suitable for a subject or predicate nominative. |
