SIBI-P1 G5101-05

to/for whom? / to/for what?

Rootτίς (tis)
Core Meaningswho, what, which, someone, anyone
Semantic Rangewho?, whom?, what?, which one?, to whom?, for what?, to someone, for anyone (in indefinite use)
Conceptual SignificanceThis pronoun introduces direct and indirect questions and highlights personal or substantive identity within discourse. In biblical texts it often sharpens theological inquiry ("who then...?", "to whom...?"), drawing attention to agency, authority, or purpose.
Morphological NotesInterrogative/indefinite pronoun; dative singular (masculine, feminine, or neuter depending on context). Functions as indirect object, reference, means, or advantage.
Rendering RationaleThe form τίνι is dative singular, so the rendering reflects indirect object or relational force with "to/for." As an interrogative (and at times enclitic indefinite), it asks or refers to a specific but undefined person or thing in the singular.
