to the hairs
| Root | θρίξ (thrix) |
| Core Meanings | hair, single strand of hair, filament |
| Semantic Range | a single hair, strands of hair collectively, the hair of the head or body, by extension something exceedingly small or fine |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, "hair" often signifies minuteness or precision (e.g., not one hair lost), personal identity, consecration (as in vows), or natural adornment and shame/honor. The plural form can emphasize individual strands, underscoring themes of divine care down to the smallest detail. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,DFP — noun, dative feminine plural. The dative case can express indirect object, means, association, or reference; plural indicates multiple individual hairs. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun θρίξ denotes a single hair or strand. The form θριξὶν is dative feminine plural, which is reflected by the plural "hairs" and the preposition "to" to convey the dative case (indirect object or reference). This preserves both the root meaning and the grammatical features of number and case. |
