SIBI-P1 G766-01
unrestrainedness (feminine singular; nominative/dative form)
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine, singular; occurring in nominative singular (NFS) and dative singular (DFS) forms. As an abstract noun, it denotes a quality or state rather than a concrete object. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "unrestrainedness" preserves the alpha-privative (ἀ-) sense of "without restraint" and reflects the abstract noun ending -εια, indicating a state or quality. The forms attested are nominative and dative feminine singular, so the gloss reflects a singular abstract quality functioning either as subject (nominative) or indirect object/means/location (dative) in context. |
