SIBI-P1 G281-01
Firmly so!
| Morphological Notes | Gr,IE = Greek indeclinable interjection. The form ἀμήν does not change for case, number, or gender and functions as a standalone affirmation or solemn introductory formula. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term derives from the Semitic root conveying firmness and reliability, expressing strong affirmation or certainty. As an indeclinable interjection (Gr,IE), it does not inflect for case, number, or gender, and functions adverbially or as a solemn affirmation; "Firmly so!" preserves both its core sense of firmness and its exclamatory force. |
