My God!
| Root | ἐλοΐ (eloḯ) |
| Core Meanings | God, Mighty One (with first-person singular possessive suffix: my God) |
| Semantic Range | personal address to God, covenantal invocation of the Deity, cry of appeal or lament directed to God |
| Conceptual Significance | Used in Jesus’ cry from the cross (e.g., "Eloi, Eloi"), the term preserves the original Semitic expression, emphasizing covenant intimacy ("my God") and evoking Psalm 22. It underscores both personal relationship and profound lament within Israel’s scriptural tradition. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,TF = foreign term (transliterated Semitic expression), indeclinable; functions syntactically as a vocative singular in direct address. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term is a Greek transliteration of the Aramaic/Hebrew אֱלָהּ with a first-person singular suffix, meaning "my God." As a foreign indeclinable form used in direct address, the rendering "My God!" preserves both the possessive relationship and its vocative force in context. |
