| Semantic Range | bedrock, rocky cliff, crag, solid rock foundation, figurative basis or firm foundation |
| Conceptual Significance | πέτρα often symbolizes stability, permanence, and covenantal reliability in biblical imagery. It can denote physical rock formations as well as metaphorical foundations, including divine protection or the enduring basis of faith. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun; genitive feminine singular (GFS) in three occurrences, indicating possession, source, or description; accusative feminine plural (AFP) in one occurrence, indicating direct object function. Lexeme: πέτρα, feminine noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "bedrock-mass" preserves the sense of πέτρα as a large, fixed mass of rock rather than a small stone. The genitive feminine singular form is expressed with "of a," marking possession or source, while the accusative feminine plural is rendered as "bedrock-masses," reflecting direct object function and plural number. |
