SIBI-P1 Translation G2938-01
created thing
| Morphological Notes | Noun; neuter; singular; nominative or accusative (form identical in neuter singular). |
| Rendering Rationale | "Created thing" directly reflects the result-noun force of the -μα suffix from κτίζω (to create), emphasizing the product brought into existence. As a neuter singular noun (nominative/accusative), the rendering preserves its singular, concrete sense without adding contextual nuance. |
