SIBI-P1 Translation G3740-01
as often as
| Morphological Notes | Adverb (Gr,D); indeclinable adverb of frequency formed from ὅσος + -ακις, indicating repeated or recurring action. |
| Rendering Rationale | "As often as" directly reflects the comparative root ὁσ- ("as many as") combined with the repetitive suffix -ακις, conveying recurrence across all instances. As an adverb of frequency, it modifies actions by indicating repeated occurrence without reference to number. |
