SIBI-P1 G185-02

the unmixed ones

Morphological NotesAdjective, accusative masculine plural (Gr,NP,,,,AMP,); describing masculine plural referents in the accusative case.
Rendering RationaleThe term derives from the negative prefix ἀ- and a root related to κεράννυμι (“to mix”), thus meaning “unmixed” or “unblended.” Rendering it as “the unmixed ones” preserves this root imagery while reflecting the accusative masculine plural form, indicating masculine plural persons functioning as the object in the clause.
