SIBI-P1 G5185-05
a smoke-darkened one
| Morphological Notes | Adjective used substantivally from τυφλός. Forms attested here include accusative masculine singular (AMS) and genitive masculine plural (GMP). In context it functions as a substantive adjective: "a blind man" (AMS) or "of blind men" (GMP). |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "smoke-darkened one" reflects the root connection to τυφόω (to smoke, to cloud), preserving the imagery of obscured sight rather than simply the abstract idea of blindness. The masculine singular form is reflected in "one," indicating a single male individual (as in the accusative masculine singular occurrences), while the adjectival force functioning substantivally is preserved. |
