SIBI-P1 G5550-04
a span of time
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,NMS = noun, nominative, masculine, singular; functioning typically as the subject of a clause or a predicate nominative. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun χρόνος refers to time viewed as measurable duration or extended interval rather than a decisive moment. Rendering it as "a span of time" preserves this sense of length or stretch. The singular nominative masculine form is reflected by the singular English phrase functioning as a subject ("a span of time"). |
