that-which (neuter singular subject)
| Root | ὅς (hos) |
| Core Meanings | who, which, that, the one who, that which |
| Semantic Range | who, which, that, what, the one who, that which; occasionally with demonstrative nuance depending on context. |
| Conceptual Significance | As a relative pronoun, ὅς structurally links clauses, grounding statements in defined referents. In biblical discourse it often introduces defining or identifying clauses, clarifying the identity, character, or action of persons, things, or divine realities previously mentioned. |
| Morphological Notes | Relative pronoun (Gr,RR), nominative case, neuter gender, singular number (NNS); functioning as the subject of a relative clause and referring back to a neuter singular antecedent (explicit or implicit). |
| Rendering Rationale | The lemma ὅς is the relative pronoun meaning "who/which/that." The morphology (relative pronoun, nominative neuter singular) indicates a neuter singular subject, so "that-which" preserves both the relative force and the neuter singular reference functioning as the subject of its clause. |
