SIBI-P1 G2040-01
the work-laborers (or, in direct address: O work-laborers)
| Morphological Notes | Noun, nominative masculine plural (NMP) and vocative masculine plural (VMP). Refers to multiple male persons functioning as the subject (nominative) or being directly addressed (vocative). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from ἔργον (“work, deed”) and denotes those characterized by performing work. Rendering it as “work-laborers” preserves the explicit connection to ἔργον while reflecting the nominative masculine plural form; where vocative masculine plural occurs, it naturally becomes “O work-laborers” in direct address. |
