μείζων (meízōn) is registered as a Greek comparative adjective with the lexical sense greater, larger, or older. The current governed BSB word table, however, contains zero tokens assigned directly to G3187.
G3187 is connected to 1 lexical occurrence verse in the lexicon data.
G3187 is registered as a Greek comparative adjective with the lexical sense greater, larger, or older. The current governed BSB word table, however, contains zero tokens assigned directly to G3187. A separately governed evidence relationship connects this identity to G3173 for source-specific comparative-form discovery only. That relationship is not global identity equivalence and transfers no occurrence ownership.
Because the direct governed denominator is zero and other source systems disagree, this record cannot presently supply passage anchors, usage patterns, morphology claims, canonical synthesis, or pastoral application. Its English gloss is an identity aid, not a conclusion drawn from local occurrence evidence. The honest result is an evidence gap: preserve the registered identity, prevent double counting, and keep authoring on hold until a separately authorized count or crosswalk decision supplies governed direct evidence.
Prior passage-based teaching prose is withdrawn rather than treated as validated G3187 content.
No first significant use is asserted because the governed BSB word table contains no direct G3187 occurrence.
The current witness establishes no direct G3187 verse sequence. G3173-coded comparative forms may help reviewers locate source-specific context, but registered authority prohibits transferring those tokens into G3187. Other local source systems report incompatible direct counts, and that disagreement does not establish a governed passage set.
Accordingly, this record makes no claim about first use, distribution, morphology, theology, or canonical movement. Future curation must begin with a separately authorized relationship and count decision rather than inheriting earlier anchors.
No canonical or theological trajectory is asserted for G3187 from the current governed occurrence evidence.
Greek word. larger (literally or figuratively, specially, in age)
