SIBI-P1 G862-03
the uncorrupted (accusative singular, masculine/feminine)
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, accusative singular; attested here in masculine singular (AMS) and feminine singular (AFS) forms. It modifies a noun and agrees with it in gender, number, and case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the alpha-privative force ("not") joined to the idea of corruption or decay from φθείρω ("to destroy, corrupt"), yielding "uncorrupted" or "undecaying." The accusative singular form is reflected by treating it as "the uncorrupted" functioning as a direct object, with masculine or feminine gender depending on its referent in context. |
