ἐκεῖνος
ekeînos
He
A demonstrative pronoun primarily meaning 'that one,' used to designate someone or something distant in place, time, or thought from the speaker or the discourse context. In various contexts, it denotes that person or thing, often as opposed to one previously mentioned or present (as with οὗτος, 'this'). In discourse, ἐκεῖνος can function anaphorically (referring to someone previously mentioned), deictically (pointing out someone or something further off), or contrastively (distinguishing that one from another).

that one
| Morphological Notes | Demonstrative pronoun; nominative masculine singular (Gr,ED,,,,NMS); functioning substantivally as "that one." |
| Rendering Rationale | "That one" preserves the distant demonstrative force derived from ἐκεῖ ("there") and reflects the nominative masculine singular form, indicating a specific male person or grammatically masculine referent set at a conceptual or spatial distance. |
