         Comments: In the one passage in which ἔκγονος occurs in the NT (namely, {S:05400500400014}), the reference is to adult grandchildren, and in some languages this element in the meaning must be made explicit. In languages in which there is no generic term to include both ‘grandsons’ and ‘granddaughters,’ it may be necessary to translate ἔκγονος in {S:05400500400014} as ‘grandsons or granddaughters.’
