λεπροῦ
leprós
leper
Covered with a scaly or rough skin condition, specifically one regarded as irregular, diseased, or abnormal. In most contexts, refers to a person exhibiting symptoms of a scaly skin disease, most commonly identified as 'leprous,' but the precise ancient classification does not correspond precisely to modern clinical definitions of leprosy (Hansen's disease). Used for both physical descriptors and for individuals subject to social exclusion due to perceived contagion of the illness.

SIBI-P1 Translation G3015-03
of a scaly-afflicted man
| Morphological Notes | Restrictive adjective, genitive masculine singular (Gr,AR,,,,GMS); functioning substantively to describe a man characterized by a scaly skin condition. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the root sense of scaliness or rough skin (λεπρ-) rather than importing a later medical label. The genitive masculine singular form is reflected by "of" and the singular "man," matching the adjective used substantively. |
