SIBI-P1 Translation G793-01
unsteady ones
| Morphological Notes | Adjective used substantively; nominative masculine plural (Gr,NS,,,,NMP), describing a group characterized by lack of firmness or stability. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the alpha-privative sense of "not established" from στηρίζω (to make firm). As a nominative masculine plural substantive adjective, it functions as a noun describing a group characterized by instability, hence "unsteady ones." |
