SIBI-P1 G2338-03
female (being)
| Morphological Notes | Gr,NS,,,,ANS = noun/substantive, accusative neuter singular; Gr,NS,,,,NNS = noun/substantive, nominative neuter singular. Though θῆλυς has natural feminine reference, it appears here in neuter singular form functioning substantivally. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "female (being)" preserves the core lexical sense of θῆλυς as denoting the female sex. Because the forms given are nominative and accusative neuter singular (NNS, ANS), the English rendering reflects a singular, substantival use—"female" as a category or being—without adding masculine or feminine grammatical markers absent in the Greek neuter form. |
