In Luke 11:33, κρύπτην is a feminine singular accusative noun in the clause describing where no one puts a lamp after lighting it. The APB renders the clause, "puts it in a cellar or under a bucket, but on a lampstand," contrasting that location with the visible placement of the lamp.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Luke 11:33, the APB presents the location as "a cellar" in contrast to placing the lamp "on a lampstand." This rendering confirms the clause's setting rather than isolating every lexical detail.
