SIBI-P1 G2814-01

a cut-off shoot

Morphological NotesNoun, neuter, singular; occurring in nominative singular (NNS) and accusative singular (ANS) forms. As a neuter noun, nominative and accusative singular are identical in form.
Rendering Rationaleκλῆμα derives from κλάω (“to break, to break off”), so “cut-off shoot” preserves the imagery of something severed from a larger plant. The forms given are nominative/accusative neuter singular, which in Greek share the same spelling; the singular sense is reflected in “a shoot,” suitable for either subject or object usage in context.
