SIBI-P1 G1100-01
the tongue
| Morphological Notes | Noun, nominative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,NFS,). The form γλῶσσα functions as a singular subject and is grammatically feminine. |
| Rendering Rationale | "The tongue" preserves the concrete root sense of γλῶσσα as the physical organ, while allowing for its extended meaning of language or speech. The definite singular form reflects the nominative feminine singular morphology (NFS), indicating a single tongue functioning as the subject of a clause. |
