SIBI-P1 G5043-01
offspring-children (neuter plural, nominative/accusative)
| Morphological Notes | Noun, neuter plural; appears as nominative neuter plural (NNP) and accusative neuter plural (ANP). In Koine Greek, neuter nominative and accusative plural forms are identical. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from τίκτω (to beget, to bear), emphasizing one who is born or produced. "Offspring-children" preserves this generative sense rather than merely age-based "children," and the rendering reflects the neuter plural form, which in Greek serves for both nominative and accusative cases. |
