SIBI-P1 G887-01
a sight-dimming mist
| Morphological Notes | Noun, nominative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,NFS,); functioning as a singular subject or predicate nominative in the clause. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "a sight-dimming mist" preserves the core idea of visual obscuration inherent in ἀχλύς, emphasizing its function of dimming or clouding vision rather than merely atmospheric vapor. The nominative feminine singular form is reflected as a singular subject noun in English ("a ... mist"). |
