SIBI-P1 G1519-01
into / unto (toward-and-into, governing the accusative)
| Morphological Notes | Preposition (Gr,P) that governs the accusative case (A). It indicates motion toward a goal (spatial, temporal, or figurative) and regularly precedes an accusative noun or pronoun. |
| Rendering Rationale | εἰς fundamentally denotes movement toward and into a goal, marking the point reached. Rendering it as "into / unto (toward-and-into)" preserves both the directional force and its extension to purpose or result, while noting that it governs the accusative case, indicating the object as the goal or endpoint of motion. |
