SIBI-P1 G5043-04
O begotten-child
| Morphological Notes | Noun, vocative neuter singular (Gr,N,,,,,VNS,). From the root τίκτω (to bear, beget). Other attested forms in this dataset include accusative neuter singular (ANS) and genitive neuter plural (GNP). |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "begotten-child" preserves the root connection to τίκτω (to beget, give birth), emphasizing one who has been brought forth. The vocative neuter singular form (VNS) is reflected by "O," marking direct address to a single child, in keeping with the morphology. |
