SIBI-P1 G3441-08
the sole one (masculine singular)
| Root | μόνος (monos) |
| Core Meanings | alone, only, sole, single, solitary, remaining |
| Semantic Range | alone, by oneself, only, sole, single, unique, mere, solitary, without others |
| Conceptual Significance | μόνος underscores exclusivity and undivided singularity—whether of a person standing alone, the uniqueness of God as the only one, or the limitation of something to a single instance. In biblical theology, it frequently emphasizes the sole sovereignty of God or the solitary state of an individual apart from others. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective functioning substantivally; nominative masculine singular (NMS). The forms labeled Gr,RI and Gr,EF here correspond to nominative masculine singular usage, often serving as a predicate or substantive adjective. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "the sole one" preserves the core sense of exclusivity and singleness inherent in μόνος, which likely carries the nuance of what remains by itself. The nominative masculine singular form is reflected by "one" with masculine singular force, suitable for a male subject or referent. |
