ἐμὲ
egṓ
me
The primary pronoun of the first person singular: 'I', marking the speaker or writer themselves. While the subject in Greek is often indicated by verb inflection alone, ἐγώ is employed for emphasis, clarification, or contrast, i.e., to draw particular attention to the subject ('I, as opposed to someone else'). It may also appear in reported speech, rhetorical questions, or narrative shifts. Semantic range includes emphatic 'I', the subject of verbs, and, in select cases, as predicate or in contrast with others ('I... not they').

SIBI-P1 Translation G1473-03
me myself
| Morphological Notes | Personal pronoun; first person; singular; accusative case (direct object form of ἐγώ). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form ἐμέ is first person singular accusative, functioning as the direct object. The full accented form often carries emphasis or contrast, so "me myself" preserves both the object case and the intensified self-reference. |
