SIBI-P1 G908-01
the immersion-rite
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,NNS/ANS = noun, neuter, singular; occurring in nominative singular (subject) and accusative singular (direct object) forms. The -μα suffix denotes the result or product of an action—"that which is immersed" or "the act of immersing." |
| Rendering Rationale | βάπτισμα derives from βαπτίζω, "to immerse, dip, submerge." Rendering it as "the immersion-rite" preserves the concrete root sense of immersion while reflecting its use as a substantive neuter singular noun (nominative or accusative), referring to a specific act or ritual event rather than an abstract concept. |
