on-the-morrow
| Root | αὔριον (aurion) |
| Core Meanings | tomorrow, next day, coming morning, the morrow |
| Semantic Range | the next calendar day, the coming morning, the immediate future, the following day in narrative sequence |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, αὔριον often frames human plans in contrast to divine sovereignty (e.g., warnings against boasting about "tomorrow"), underscoring the uncertainty of the near future and dependence upon God’s will. |
| Morphological Notes | Adverb (Gr,D); indeclinable temporal adverb meaning "tomorrow" or "on the next day." It carries no tense, number, gender, or case distinctions. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adverb αὔριον refers to the coming day, originally connected to the idea of the fresh morning air. Rendering it as "on-the-morrow" preserves its adverbial force (Gr,D) and retains the temporal-forward sense embedded in the root, rather than flattening it to a simple calendar term. |
