SIBI-P1 G1473-01

I myself

Rootἐγώ (egō)
Core MeaningsI, myself, first-person self-reference, emphatic self-designation
Semantic RangeI, myself, personally, in contrast to others; emphatic self-reference distinguishing the speaker from others
Conceptual Significanceἐγώ frequently marks emphatic self-identification, contrast, or authority. In key theological contexts (e.g., "ἐγώ εἰμι" sayings), it underscores personal identity and revelatory self-disclosure.
Morphological NotesPersonal pronoun; first person; nominative case; singular number. The nominative form is used for the subject of a clause and is often expressed for emphasis, since Greek verbs already encode person and number.
Rendering RationaleThe form ἐγώ is first-person singular nominative, used explicitly for emphasis. Rendering it as "I myself" preserves both the nominative subject function and the emphatic force inherent in the expressed pronoun in Greek.
