SIBI-P1 Translation G4178-01
many times
| Morphological Notes | Adverb (Gr,D); indeclinable multiplicative adverb indicating frequency or repeated occurrence. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adverb is formed from πολυ- ("many, much") with the suffix -ακις indicating repeated occurrence, thus conveying action happening on numerous occasions. "Many times" directly preserves the root sense of multiplicity and the adverbial force of repetition. |
