Exegesis
Hebraisti {Ἑβραϊστί | Heb-rai-is-tí} signals the language of Mary’s address, and the Aramaic Rabbouni {Ραββουνι | Rab-bou-ní} is then unpacked by the parenthetical relative clause ho legetai Didaskale {ὃ λέγεται Διδάσκαλε | ho lé-ge-tai Di-dás-ka-le}, where legetai marks conventional explanation rather than a fresh speech act. The result is a narrative hinge in which recognition is carried by name, reverence, and translation.
