Malchos
| Morphological Notes | Noun, nominative, masculine, singular (proper name functioning as subject form). |
| Rendering Rationale | In Koine Greek this term functions as a proper masculine personal name, not as an appellative meaning "king." The nominative singular form identifies the individual by name, preserving its Semitic royal-root origin without translating it as a common noun. |
