SIBI-P1 G235-01
but rather (on-the-other-hand)
| Morphological Notes | Gr,CO and Gr,CC = coordinating conjunction (contrastive); indeclinable particle with no tense, voice, mood, person, number, gender, or case; used to join clauses or phrases in contrast or correction. |
| Rendering Rationale | The conjunction ἀλλά derives from ἄλλος (“other”) and signals a shift to what is ‘other’ or contrary to what precedes. Rendering it as “but rather (on-the-other-hand)” preserves the root idea of otherness while clearly expressing its coordinating, contrastive function in discourse. |
