SIBI-P1 G3551-01
to/for the apportioned-law
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,DMS — noun, dative case, masculine, singular; functioning typically as indirect object, means, sphere, or reference. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the root idea of νόμος as something apportioned or prescribed, hence an established rule or order. The dative masculine singular form (νόμῳ) is reflected by "to/for," capturing the dative sense of indirect object, sphere, or means, while "the apportioned-law" maintains the lexical connection to the idea of ordered distribution and regulation. |
