SIBI-P1 G575-02
from-off (of)
| Root | ἀπό (apo) |
| Core Meanings | from, away from, off, out from, separation, departure, source, origin |
| Semantic Range | denotes separation from a place, person, or thing; origin or source; temporal starting point ("since"); causal basis ("because of"); distance or removal; in compounds, conveys departure, reversal, or completion. |
| Conceptual Significance | ἀπό frames many key biblical concepts in terms of origin and separation: being sent from God, turning away from sin, descending from heaven, or coming from a lineage. It marks both physical departure and theological source, underscoring divine initiative, covenant identity, and moral separation. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition (Gr,P) governing the genitive case (G). It expresses separation, source, origin, cause, or point of departure in relation to a genitive noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "from-off (of)" preserves the core idea of separation or movement away inherent in ἀπό, while signaling that it governs the genitive case ("of"), indicating source, origin, or point of departure. The hyphenated form keeps the spatial and relational force of the preposition visible. |
