SIBI-P1 G3739-05

the (feminine singular subject)

Root (ho)
Core Meaningsthe definite article, the, this, that, the one, the particular
Semantic Rangedefinite marker ('the'), demonstrative nuance ('this/that'), substantivizer ('the one [who/which]'), possessive or generic article depending on context
Conceptual SignificanceThe Greek definite article is highly flexible and often carries greater specificity than the English "the." In biblical Greek it frequently identifies particular persons or realities, can substantivize descriptors (e.g., 'the righteous [woman]'), and contributes to theological precision by marking definiteness, identity, and sometimes uniqueness.
Morphological NotesGr,EA,,,,NFS — definite article; nominative case; feminine gender; singular number. Used to mark a specific feminine singular noun as the subject or to substantivize an adjective/participle in feminine singular form.
Rendering RationaleThe form ἡ is the nominative feminine singular of the definite article ὁ. Rendering it as "the (feminine singular subject)" preserves its function as a definite marker while explicitly reflecting its feminine gender, singular number, and nominative (subject) case.
