SIBI-P1 G5259-01
under—by the agency of (with genitive) / beneath toward (with accusative)
| Morphological Notes | Preposition (Gr,P). In these occurrences it governs either the genitive case (G), typically expressing agency, source, or position under, or the accusative case (A), expressing movement to or position beneath. The form ὑπ’ is an elided form before a vowel. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the core spatial sense of "under" inherent in ὑπό while distinguishing its grammatical functions: with the genitive it commonly marks agency or means ("by the agency of"), and with the accusative it retains a directional or spatial sense ("beneath toward"). This reflects the case-dependent meaning indicated in the morphology codes (preposition governing genitive or accusative). |
