SIBI-P1 G3778-12
this-thing (neuter singular, nominative/accusative); to/for this-one (masculine singular, dative)
| Root | οὗτος (houtos) |
| Core Meanings | this one, this thing, this person here, the one near at hand |
| Semantic Range | this, this one, this thing, this matter, this person, this event; sometimes emphatic (“this very one”) or contrastive with ἐκεῖνος (“that one”). |
| Conceptual Significance | As a near demonstrative, οὗτος anchors discourse to what is immediately present in context—whether a person, event, statement, or divine act—often marking emphasis, identification, or fulfillment within the narrative or argument. |
| Morphological Notes | Demonstrative pronoun (Gr,RD). Forms include nominative neuter singular (NNS), accusative neuter singular (ANS), and dative masculine singular (DMS). Neuter nominative and accusative share the same form (τοῦτο); dative masculine singular appears as τούτῳ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the demonstrative force of οὗτος as a near deictic (“this”) while making explicit the grammatical gender, number, and case reflected in the forms τοῦτο (neuter singular nominative/accusative) and τούτῳ (masculine singular dative). Adding “-thing” or “-one” clarifies gender and number that are grammatically encoded in Greek but often implicit in English. |
