of forearm-measures
| Root | πῆχυς (pēchys) |
| Core Meanings | forearm, cubit, linear measure based on the forearm |
| Semantic Range | the human forearm; a cubit (the length from elbow to fingertip); a standard unit of measurement in construction and description of dimensions |
| Conceptual Significance | The πῆχυς functions as a foundational unit of measurement in biblical descriptions of sacred architecture, vessels, and structures, grounding theological realities in concrete, embodied standards derived from the human form. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,GMP — noun, genitive, masculine, plural; from πῆχυς (second declension masculine). The genitive plural form πηχῶν indicates possession, source, or measurement in relation to another noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun πῆχυς denotes the forearm and, by extension, the cubit as a standard unit of length. The form πηχῶν is genitive masculine plural, which is reflected by the rendering "of forearm-measures," preserving both the plural number and the genitive sense of measurement or extent. |
