SIBI-P1 G3754-01
that (as the fact that)
| Morphological Notes | Gr,CS = Greek conjunction, subordinating. Indeclinable; introduces content (declarative) clauses or causal clauses. Does not inflect for gender, number, or case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "that (as the fact that)" preserves the conjunction’s demonstrative origin (neuter of ὅστις, "which/what"), highlighting that it introduces a stated or assumed fact. As a subordinating conjunction (CS), it grammatically links clauses by specifying content or cause, which this rendering makes explicit. |
