Euonumos denotes the left side or left-hand position in spatial contrasts and placements.

The attested use marks a left-side position, most often contrasted with a right-side position in seating, crucifixion, and separation scenes. It also identifies what lies to the left in travel and the placement of a foot.

Senses in use

  1. Left-side position in spatial contrast · dominant

    In Matthew 20:21 and Mark 10:40, the genitive plural neuter form occurs in the request or statement about sitting at the right and left. The same contrast marks the positions of crucified men in Mark 15:27 and Matthew 27:38, and divides sheep from goats in Matthew 25:33; in Matthew 25:41, those already identified as being on that side are addressed.

  2. Left side in directional or bodily placement · occasional

    In Acts 21:3, the accusative singular feminine form identifies Cyprus in relation to the voyage; the APB renders the clause "left it on our left." In Revelation 10:2, the accusative singular masculine form identifies the foot placed upon the earth, while the other foot is on the sea.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB regularly presents the spatial contrast with "right" and "left," including seating, crucifixion, and placement scenes. These English phrases confirm the clauses' spatial contrast rather than isolate a precise English token for every form.
