SIBI-P1 G3962-07
to the father
| Morphological Notes | Noun, dative masculine singular (Gr,N,,,,,DMS,). The dative case commonly expresses indirect object ("to" or "for"), association, or reference; masculine gender; singular number. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the core familial meaning of πατήρ as "father" while explicitly reflecting the dative masculine singular form with the prepositional sense "to" (dative case), and the singular masculine identity of the noun. This maintains both lexical meaning and grammatical function. |
