a smoke-darkened one
| Root | τυφλός (typhlos) |
| Core Meanings | blind, opaque, smoke-darkened, mentally dull, lacking sight or perception |
| Semantic Range | physically blind; deprived of sight; mentally blind; spiritually insensitive; unable or unwilling to perceive truth |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, τυφλός often signifies more than physical blindness, symbolizing spiritual ignorance or resistance to divine revelation. It frequently highlights the contrast between physical sight and true spiritual perception granted by God. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective used substantivally from τυφλός. Forms attested here include accusative masculine singular (AMS) and genitive masculine plural (GMP). In context it functions as a substantive adjective: "a blind man" (AMS) or "of blind men" (GMP). |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "smoke-darkened one" reflects the root connection to τυφόω (to smoke, to cloud), preserving the imagery of obscured sight rather than simply the abstract idea of blindness. The masculine singular form is reflected in "one," indicating a single male individual (as in the accusative masculine singular occurrences), while the adjectival force functioning substantivally is preserved. |
