SIBI-P1 G4218-01
at-some-time
| Morphological Notes | Gr,D — adverb; indeclinable temporal particle expressing indefinite time. It does not inflect for tense, number, or gender and modifies verbs or clauses. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adverb ποτέ expresses an indefinite point in time, whether past ("once, formerly") or in a general sense ("ever"). The rendering "at-some-time" preserves the core indefinite temporal force of the particle without fixing it to a specific tense, reflecting its adverbial (Gr,D) and indeclinable form. |
