SIBI-P1 G4862-01
in-close-union-with (governing dative)
| Morphological Notes | Preposition (Gr,P) that regularly governs the dative case; indeclinable; expresses close association or union with its dative object. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "in-close-union-with" reflects the core idea of σύν as denoting intimate association or union, closer than other Greek prepositions for "with." The morphology identifies it as a preposition governing the dative case, so the rendering notes its required dative complement while preserving its sense of shared participation or companionship. |
