SIBI-P1 G3793-05
the thronging crowd
| Morphological Notes | Noun, nominative, masculine, singular (Gr,N,,,,,NMS,). Functions typically as the subject of a clause or as a predicate nominative; grammatically singular though referring to a collective group. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "thronging crowd" preserves the core image of ὄχλος as a mass of people borne or pressed along together, not merely a neutral gathering but a dense, moving multitude. The nominative masculine singular form is reflected by the singular English phrase functioning as a subject ("the ... crowd"), matching the grammatical features of the Greek. |
