SIBI-P1 G4750-01
a mouth-opening
| Root | στόμα (stoma) |
| Core Meanings | mouth, opening, edge, utterance, front |
| Semantic Range | the physical mouth of a person or animal; speech or utterance; an opening in the earth or structure; the edge or blade of a weapon; the front or entrance of something |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, στόμα frequently represents both the physical organ of speech and the source of words, blessing, cursing, or divine revelation. It can signify authority ("by the mouth of"), testimony, and the penetrating power of speech, as well as literal openings such as the earth swallowing or the sharp edge of a sword. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun; neuter; singular; appears in nominative singular (NNS) and accusative singular (ANS) forms. As a neuter noun, nominative and accusative singular share the same surface form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "mouth-opening" preserves the concrete root image of a physical opening or gash, from which metaphorical senses (speech, edge, entrance) develop. The form is neuter singular nominative/accusative, reflected in the singular, non-gendered English expression that can function as either subject or object. |
