SIBI-P1 G4217-06
what-sort-of (men)
| Morphological Notes | Adjectival/interrogative form; accusative masculine plural (AMP). Functions adjectivally or substantively, modifying or referring to masculine plural nouns in the accusative case (direct object). |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the interrogative and qualitative force of ποταπός (“of what sort/kind”) while reflecting the accusative masculine plural form (AMP), indicating it modifies or stands for masculine plural direct objects ("men" understood from context). The hyphenated form highlights its compound, qualitative nature rather than a simple generic "what." |
