SIBI-P1 G514-04
worthy one (nominative masculine singular)
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, positive degree; nominative masculine singular (Gr,NP,,,,NMS). Functions either attributively with a masculine singular noun or substantively as a masculine singular subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective ἄξιος conveys the idea of being of equal weight or value, hence deserving or fitting. Rendered as "worthy one" it preserves the qualitative force while reflecting its nominative masculine singular form, which can function substantively to denote a man characterized by worthiness. |
