Twin (masculine singular, nominative)
| Root | Θωμᾶς (Thōmas) |
| Core Meanings | twin, double, one of a pair |
| Semantic Range | a twin; one of a pair; used as a personal name (Thomas); associated with the idea of doubleness or pairing. |
| Conceptual Significance | Θωμᾶς is one of the Twelve apostles, also called Δίδυμος (“Twin”) in Greek (John 11:16; 20:24). The preservation of the meaning “Twin” highlights the bilingual context of the Gospel traditions and reflects the Semitic background of early Yeshua-followers. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,NMS — noun, nominative case, masculine gender, singular number; proper name of Semitic origin declined as a masculine noun in Greek. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name Θωμᾶς derives from the Aramaic/Hebrew term for “twin” (תָּאוֹם, taʾom). Rendering it as “Twin” preserves the root meaning rather than substituting the traditional proper name, while “masculine singular, nominative” reflects its grammatical form as a masculine singular noun functioning as the subject. |
