SIBI-P1 G3634-01
such-kind (feminine singular) / such-kinds (neuter plural)
| Root | οἷος (hoios) |
| Core Meanings | of what sort, such as, of what kind, corresponding to, like as |
| Semantic Range | such as, of what sort, of what kind, corresponding to, like, what manner of; in neuter plural often referring to "such things as" |
| Conceptual Significance | οἷος highlights qualitative identity—what kind or sort something truly is. In biblical usage, it often emphasizes the character, nature, or evident quality of persons, deeds, or divine acts, drawing attention not merely to existence but to defining attributes. |
| Morphological Notes | Relative pronoun (Gr,RR); nominative feminine singular (NFS) and nominative neuter plural (NNP). Functions adjectivally or substantivally to describe the kind or quality of a person or thing. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "such-kind" preserves the qualitative force of οἷος, which denotes the nature or kind of something. The nominative feminine singular form is reflected as "such-kind (feminine singular)," while the nominative neuter plural form is rendered "such-kinds (neuter plural)," maintaining both number and gender distinctions present in the morphology. |
