κόκκῳ
kókkos
A kernel or seed; primarily refers to a single grain or seed (such as of wheat, barley, or mustard), often as the smallest discrete unit of agricultural produce. May also refer to a granular particle or pellet in non-agricultural contexts (e.g., a particle of sand or medicine), but most commonly in Koine Greek to an individual seed, especially when emphasizing singularity, minuteness, or the potential for growth.

to a seed
| Morphological Notes | Noun, dative masculine singular (Gr,N,,,,,DMS); denotes one kernel/seed in dative case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The dative masculine singular form κόκκῳ denotes a single discrete kernel or seed. Rendering it as "to a seed" preserves both its singular minuteness and the dative case sense without importing contextual specifics. |
