Barnabas
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine, singular, accusative (Gr,N,,,,,AMS) — proper name functioning as direct object. |
| Rendering Rationale | This is the accusative masculine singular form of the proper name Βαρνάβας. In English, proper names do not change form for case, so “Barnabas” preserves the root meaning while reflecting its function as a singular masculine object. |
