SIBI-P1 Translation G878-01
O senseless one
| Morphological Notes | Substantive adjective; vocative masculine singular; used as a direct address. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the alpha privative plus φρήν (mind/understanding), conveying "without sense." The vocative masculine singular form is preserved by addressing directly as "O senseless one." |
