SIBI-P1 G2959-01

to/for the mistress-lady (dative singular); O mistress-lady (vocative singular)

Morphological NotesNoun, feminine, singular. Forms attested: dative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,DFS,) and vocative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,VFS,). Derived as the feminine counterpart of κύριος.
Rendering RationaleΚυρία is the feminine form of κύριος (lord, master), so "mistress-lady" preserves the root idea of authority and ownership. The dative singular form (κυρίᾳ) is rendered "to/for the mistress-lady" to reflect indirect object function, while the vocative singular (κυρία) is rendered "O mistress-lady" to reflect direct address. Both maintain feminine singular agreement.
