Joseph
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, masculine singular, indeclinable (I). Appears in nominative (NMSI), accusative (AMSI), dative (DMSI), and vocative (VMSI) forms; case is indicated syntactically rather than by change in form. |
| Rendering Rationale | Ἰωσήφ is an indeclinable proper noun of Hebrew origin (יוֹסֵף, "he adds"). Although it appears in nominative, accusative, dative, and vocative masculine singular forms in Greek syntax, the spelling remains unchanged; thus the faithful rendering preserves the proper name "Joseph" while allowing the grammatical function (subject, object, indirect object, or direct address) to be determined by context. |
