SIBI-P1 G2440-01
garments (things-put-on)
| Morphological Notes | Noun, neuter, plural; appearing in nominative plural (NNP) and accusative plural (ANP) forms. As a neuter plural, nominative and accusative share the same form ἱμάτια. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "garments" reflects the neuter plural form (nominative/accusative) of ἱμάτιον, while "things-put-on" makes explicit its derivation from a verb meaning "to put on," preserving the root idea of wearable coverings. The plural form matches the morphology (NNP/ANP), indicating multiple articles of clothing functioning either as subject or direct object. |
