SIBI-P1 G4139-01
the near-one (masculine singular)
| Morphological Notes | Gr,NS,,,,AMS — substantive use (adjectival form functioning as noun), accusative masculine singular; functioning as a direct object and referring to a single male person characterized by nearness. |
| Rendering Rationale | πλησίον derives from a root meaning "near" and functions here substantively as "the one who is near." The accusative masculine singular form indicates a single male person as the direct object, so "the near-one (masculine singular)" preserves both the relational root idea of nearness and the grammatical features of number, gender, and case. |
