SIBI-P1 G806-01

in a firmly-secured way

Morphological NotesGr,D — adverb; indeclinable; expresses manner and modifies a verb, adjective, or clause.
Rendering RationaleThe adverb derives from ἀσφαλής (“secure, firm, not liable to fall”), itself built on the idea of being unshaken or unfailing. Rendering it as “in a firmly-secured way” preserves the root sense of stability and certainty while accurately reflecting its adverbial function (Gr,D), modifying a verb to describe the manner of action.
