SIBI-P1 Translation G3641-11

of little

Morphological NotesIndefinite pronoun; genitive masculine singular (Gr,RI,,,,GMS); from ὀλίγος, expressing smallness or fewness in genitive relation.
Rendering RationaleThe genitive masculine singular form denotes possession, relation, or measure, thus "of little," preserving both the root sense of smallness or limited quantity and the genitive case. The rendering keeps the core idea of scarcity or slight degree without adding context.
