SIBI-P1 G793-02

un-established (feminine plural) ones

Morphological NotesGr,AA,,,,AFP — adjective, accusative case, feminine gender, plural number. Derived from ἀ- (negative prefix) + a verbal root related to στηρίζω (“to establish, make firm”).
Rendering RationaleThe adjective ἀστήρικτος combines the negative prefix ἀ- with στηρίζω (“to establish, strengthen”), thus meaning “not established” or “not strengthened.” The form ἀστηρίκτους is accusative feminine plural, so the rendering reflects feminine plural agreement and functions as a direct object descriptor, preserving both the root idea of lacking firm establishment and the grammatical features.
