SIBI-P1 Translation G3707-01
the visible things
| Morphological Notes | Adjective used substantively; nominative neuter plural; denotes a class of things characterized by visibility. |
| Rendering Rationale | ὁρατός denotes that which is capable of being seen, derived from ὁράω (to see) with the adjectival suffix -τός indicating capacity. The neuter nominative plural form functions substantivally, thus "the visible things," preserving both adjectival sense and plural morphology. |
