      They are all servants to God; but the disciples had made a distinction between them and (made) gods of them; that is what he corrects here.

Usage notes

[edit]

This form appears only once, at Wb. 7d10. Both the long mark on the o and the ending -i are unexpected. There is no obvious explanation for the former; the latter is apparently due to attraction to i-stem nouns.
