a reclining-couch
| Root | κλίνη (klinē) |
| Core Meanings | couch, bed, reclining place, dining couch |
| Semantic Range | A bed for sleeping, a sickbed or pallet for the infirm, a couch for reclining at meals, or by extension a dining couch or table arrangement in Greco-Roman settings. |
| Conceptual Significance | In the Gospels and Acts, κλίνη often appears in healing narratives, highlighting restoration from sickness (the sickbed). In Greco-Roman culture it also evokes the reclining posture at meals, connecting themes of fellowship, healing, and restored participation in community life. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,AFS = noun, accusative case, feminine gender, singular number; functioning as a direct object. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from κλίνω (“to incline, lean, recline”), so "reclining-couch" preserves the root idea of a place for leaning or lying down rather than the more generalized "bed." The form is accusative feminine singular, indicating a single couch functioning as the direct object in its clause, which is reflected by the singular, indefinite English rendering. |
