SIBI-P1 G80-01
the sister-from-the-same-womb (nominative feminine singular); O brother-from-the-same-womb! (vocative masculine singular)
| Morphological Notes | Noun; either nominative feminine singular (NFS), functioning as the subject or predicate noun, or vocative masculine singular (VMS), used for direct address. Derived from ἀδελφός, with feminine form ἀδελφή and vocative masculine form ἀδελφέ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the etymological sense of ἀδελφός as one "from the same womb," making the familial bond explicit. "Sister-from-the-same-womb" reflects the nominative feminine singular form (ἀδελφή), while "O brother-from-the-same-womb!" reflects the vocative masculine singular form (ἀδελφέ), maintaining both gender and case distinctions shown in the morphology. |
