Morphological NotesDemonstrative pronoun; neuter; singular; nominative case (RD NNS) — functioning as subject or substantive in nominative form.
Rendering RationaleThe neuter nominative singular demonstrative points to a specific thing that is near in discourse or attention. "This" preserves both the proximal force of οὗτος and the singular neuter form.
