SIBI-P1 G2756-05
empty one / empty thing (accusative masculine singular; also attested as nominative or accusative neuter singular)
| Morphological Notes | Adjective from κενός. Forms attested here include accusative masculine singular (AMS), nominative neuter singular (NNS), and accusative neuter singular (ANS), functioning substantivally in some contexts ("empty one/thing"). |
| Rendering Rationale | κενός denotes that which is empty or devoid of substance, whether physically or figuratively. Rendering it as "empty one" (masculine accusative singular) or "empty thing" (neuter singular forms attested) preserves both the core idea of emptiness and the grammatical force of the case and gender reflected in the morphology codes. |
