SIBI-P1 G4427-01

of the spat-out substance

Morphological NotesNoun, genitive, neuter, singular (Gr,N,,,,,GNS,). The -μα suffix indicates the result of an action ("that which is spat"). Genitive case commonly expresses source, possession, or description.
Rendering RationaleThe noun πτύσμα derives from πτύω ("to spit") and denotes the result of that action—"that which is spat." Rendering it as "the spat-out substance" preserves the verbal root idea. The genitive singular form (GNS) is reflected by "of," indicating possession or source.
