SIBI-P1 G4183-01
many things
| Root | πολύς (polys) |
| Core Meanings | much, many, abundant, numerous, great in quantity or degree |
| Semantic Range | many (people), much (substance), many things (matters), great in number, abundant, extensive, frequent (with neuter plural used adverbially in some contexts) |
| Conceptual Significance | πολύς frequently underscores abundance—whether of deeds, words, sins, mercies, or blessings—highlighting either the magnitude of human action or the overflowing nature of divine provision and grace in the biblical narrative. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective πολύς in the accusative neuter plural (ANP). Used substantively, it functions as a plural direct object meaning "many things." |
| Rendering Rationale | πολλά is the accusative neuter plural form of πολύς, denoting a large quantity of unspecified items. Rendering it as "many things" preserves both the quantitative force of the root and the neuter plural accusative sense, which commonly functions as a direct object or as a substantive referring to multiple matters. |
