SIBI-P1 Translation G4055-01
to the more abundant (feminine)
| Morphological Notes | Attributive adjective; dative feminine singular; comparative degree from περισσός. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the comparative force of περισσότερος (“more abundant, more surpassing”) and reflects the dative feminine singular form with "to the" and the feminine designation. It maintains the root idea of surplus and exceeding measure. |
