The supplied morphology identifies each form as a Particle. In Mark 11:9 and John 12:13, the APB renders a shouted “Hosanna!” beside a blessing for the one who comes; in Matthew 21:9 and Matthew 21:15, it occurs in cries directed “to the son of David,” while Mark 11:10 places it after a blessing for the coming kingdom.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB preserves the term as “Hosanna” in each cited verse, sometimes standing alone and sometimes followed by “to the son of David” or “in the highest.” These surrounding phrases show the verse-level acclamation rather than a separate English rendering of the particle.
