Root	κρίθινος (krithinos)
Core Meanings	barley, made of barley, barley-derived
Semantic Range	pertaining to barley; composed of barley; barley-based (e.g., bread, loaves, foodstuffs)
Conceptual Significance	Barley was a common grain in ancient Israel and the broader Mediterranean world, associated with ordinary sustenance and often with the poor. Its mention can signal humility, provision, or the agricultural setting of biblical life.
Morphological Notes	Adjective, genitive masculine plural (Gr,AR,,,,GMP); describing masculine plural nouns and expressing possession, source, or material ("of barley").
Rendering Rationale	The adjective κρίθινος means "made of barley" or "barley-derived." The genitive masculine plural form (κριθίνων) is reflected by "of barley-made (ones)," preserving the genitive sense ("of") and the masculine plural agreement with the noun it modifies.
