SIBI-P1 G4592-01
sign-markers
| Morphological Notes | Noun, neuter, plural; occurring as either accusative neuter plural (ANP) or nominative neuter plural (NNP). The form σημεῖα serves for both cases in Koine Greek. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "sign-markers" preserves the root idea from σημαίνω (to signify, to indicate), emphasizing something that points beyond itself as an indicator. The morphology (ANP/NNP) identifies this as neuter plural, either accusative or nominative; the English plural "sign-markers" reflects this number while remaining suitable for either subject or object usage in context. |
