SIBI-P1 G4183-11
of many (ones)
| Root | πολύς (polys) |
| Core Meanings | much, many, numerous, abundant, great in quantity or extent |
| Semantic Range | many people, many things, numerous, abundant, widespread, great in number, large portion (partitive genitive) |
| Conceptual Significance | πολύς frequently marks the contrast between the one and the many, the few and the multitude, and highlights abundance—whether of mercy, sin, witnesses, or nations. In redemptive contexts, "the many" can carry covenantal and representative weight, underscoring the scope of divine action among a multitude. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective/pronominal adjective, genitive plural, masculine or neuter (Gr,EQ/RI,,,,GMP/GNP). It modifies or substantively represents plural referents in the genitive case, indicating possession, source, relation, or partitive sense. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form πολλῶν is genitive plural (masculine or neuter) of πολύς, expressing quantity or abundance. Rendering it as "of many (ones)" preserves the genitive case ("of"), the plural number ("many"), and keeps the quantitative force of the root while allowing for either masculine persons or neuter things depending on context. |
