Tychikos
| Morphological Notes | Noun, nominative, masculine, singular (Gr,N,,,,,NMS) — proper name serving as subject form. |
| Rendering Rationale | Although derived from the root meaning "fortune" or "to happen," the term functions in the New Testament strictly as a masculine proper name. Rendering it as "Tychikos" preserves its nominative singular masculine form and respects its use as an individual’s name rather than a descriptive adjective. |
