what (thing)?
| Root | τίς (tis) |
| Core Meanings | who, what, which, someone, something |
| Semantic Range | what?, which thing?, why?, how much?, something, anything (in questions or conditional clauses) |
| Conceptual Significance | As an interrogative, τίς invites inquiry and discernment, frequently introducing questions that reveal misunderstanding, provoke reflection, or expose motives. In its indefinite use (τι), it expresses indefiniteness or modesty ("something"), often softening statements or indicating partial knowledge in biblical discourse. |
| Morphological Notes | Form: τί/τι — interrogative or indefinite pronoun; accusative, neuter, singular (ANS). Depending on accent and context, it may function as interrogative ("what?") or enclitic indefinite ("something"). Accusative case marks it as direct object or object of a preposition. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "what (thing)?" preserves the interrogative force of τίς in its neuter accusative singular form, which typically asks about a thing rather than a person. The parenthetical "(thing)" reflects the neuter gender, while the accusative case signals its role as a direct object or object of inquiry. |
