copper-metal
| Root | χαλκός (chalkos) |
| Core Meanings | copper, bronze, brass, copper-metal, copper coin, money |
| Semantic Range | the metal copper or bronze; objects made of copper; bronze implements; copper coinage; by extension, money or monetary payment |
| Conceptual Significance | In the biblical world, copper/bronze was a common and utilitarian metal used for tools, vessels, and coinage. As a medium of exchange, it could symbolize material wealth of lesser value compared to silver or gold, and thus often represents everyday monetary transactions or humble economic means. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative, masculine, singular (Gr,N,,,,,AMS); a second-declension masculine noun used here as a direct object. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "copper-metal" preserves the material sense of χαλκός as the base metal itself, from which implements and coinage were made. The accusative masculine singular form (χαλκόν) indicates a single instance functioning as a direct object, which is naturally conveyed in English without altering the lexical core. |
