an earthenware clay-vessel
| Root | κεράμιον (keramion) |
| Core Meanings | earthenware vessel, clay jar, pottery container |
| Semantic Range | clay jar, earthen pitcher, pottery container for water, wine, or other goods |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical contexts, such earthenware vessels signify ordinary domestic life and human frailty; clay containers often symbolize what is common, breakable, and formed from the earth, reinforcing themes of humility and material origin. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative case, neuter gender, singular number (Gr,N,,,,,ANS). Functions as a direct object in its clause. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the material-root connection to κέραμος (clay, pottery), highlighting the object as made of fired earth rather than generically calling it a 'pitcher.' The accusative neuter singular form is reflected as a singular direct object ('an ... vessel'). |
