Exegesis
The nominative participial phrase ho anapleron {ὁ ἀναπληρῶν | ho a-na-plē-rôn} functions substantivally, with ton topon {τὸν τόπον | ton tó-pon} as its object and tou idiotou {τοῦ ἰδιώτου | toû i-di-ṓ-tou} as a defining genitive, yielding ‘the one filling the place of the outsider’. This construction highlights a specific worshiper characterized not by role but by lack of initiation into the spiritual discourse.

In context — 1 Corinthians 14:16
For if you bless with the spirit , how will the one occupying the place of the unlearned say the Amen at your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying?
