SIBI-P1 G2253-01
a half-dead (man)
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, accusative masculine singular (Gr,NS,,,,AMS,); two-termination adjective used substantivally to describe a male person in the accusative case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective ἡμιθανής combines ἥμισυ (half) and a form related to θνῄσκω (to die), literally meaning "half-dead." The form ἡμιθανῆ is accusative masculine singular, here functioning substantivally to describe a specific male individual as the direct object—thus rendered "a half-dead (man)," preserving both the compound root meaning and the masculine singular accusative force. |
