Exegesis
Proton {πρῶτον | prô-ton} “first” marks the initial stage, followed by successive eita {εἶτα | eî-ta} “then,” which introduce the temporal sequence of growth: chorton {χόρτον | chór-ton} “blade,” stakhyn {στάχυν | stá-khyn} “ear,” and the substantive phrase plērēs siton {πλήρης σῖτον | plḗ-rēs sî-ton} “full grain.”
In context — Mark 4:28
The earth by itself brings forth fruit: first the blade , then the ear, and then the full grain in the ear.
