| Semantic Range | the number two; a pair; both individuals of a set; dual witnesses; two items considered together |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical literature, δύο often signifies sufficient testimony ("by two witnesses"), partnership, division, or contrast. The number can indicate confirmation, companionship, or the minimal plurality required for legal or covenantal validation. |
| Morphological Notes | Primary cardinal numeral; indeclinable in form. Appears here with masculine plural agreement (NMP = nominative masculine plural; AMP/ANP = accusative masculine plural). Functions either adjectivally modifying a plural noun or substantivally as "two ones." |
| Rendering Rationale | The lemma δύο is an indeclinable primary numeral meaning "two." Because it functions with masculine plural forms in the given morphologies (nominative and accusative masculine plural), the rendering preserves its quantitative force while noting its masculine plural agreement, reflecting its grammatical usage in context. |
