SIBI-P1 Translation G772-06
of a weak one
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, genitive masculine singular (AA/NP, GMS); attributive form meaning "without strength." |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective ἀσθενής means "without strength" from the alpha privative and σθεν- (strength). The genitive masculine singular form is rendered "of a weak one," preserving both the root idea of lacking strength and the genitive singular masculine morphology. |
