SIBI-P1 Translation G1683-01
to myself
| Morphological Notes | Reflexive pronoun, first person singular, dative masculine singular (Gr,RE,,,1DMS); compound of ἐμός (my) + αὐτός (self), functioning reflexively with dative force. |
| Rendering Rationale | The dative singular form ἐμαυτῷ expresses first-person reflexive reference in the dative case, commonly conveying direction, interest, or relation toward oneself. "To myself" preserves both the reflexive force and the dative morphology without importing contextual nuance. |
