Exegesis
The neuter plural subject ta kynaria {τὰ κυνάρια | tà kynária} “the little dogs” works with the singular verb esthiei {ἐσθίει | es-thí-ei}, a collective use that depicts the group as a single class.
In context — Matthew 15:27
But she said, “Yes, Lord ; for even the little dogs eat from the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table .”
