SIBI-P1 Translation G4440-01
monumental gateway
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative, masculine, singular (Gr,N,,,,,AMS) — indicating one monumental gateway in object position. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Monumental gateway" reflects the augmentative architectural force of πυλών (from πύλη) denoting a grand entrance structure, not merely a simple gate. The accusative masculine singular form marks it as a single gateway functioning as the direct object. |
