| Core Meanings | ninth, ninth in order, ordinal position after eight |
| Semantic Range | ninth in a sequence, ninth hour, ninth day, or any feminine noun marked as ninth in order |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical contexts, the “ninth hour” (about 3 PM) was a significant time of prayer and sacrifice in Second Temple Judaism, marking moments of divine encounter and fulfillment in the narrative of Acts and the Gospels. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective (ordinal), genitive feminine singular (Gr,EO,,,,GFS,). Modifies a feminine noun in the genitive case, indicating relation or possession. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form ἐνάτης is genitive feminine singular, indicating possession or association with a feminine noun (such as ὥρα, “hour”). Rendering it as “of the ninth (feminine)” preserves both the ordinal sense derived from ἐννέα (nine) and the genitive feminine grammatical form. |
