SIBI-P1 Translation G3788-04
eye (accusative singular)
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative singular, masculine (Gr,N,,,,,AMS) — direct object form of ὀφθαλμός. |
| Rendering Rationale | The accusative singular masculine form denotes a single eye as the object of an action. "Eye" preserves the primary root sense from ὀπτ- (to see, appear), maintaining the concrete organ of sight while allowing for its extended perceptual sense. |
