to a uniting bond
| Morphological Notes | Noun, dative masculine singular (Gr,N,,,,,DMS); indicates a single binding instrument or principle functioning in the dative case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the core idea of something that binds or joins together. The dative singular form is preserved by the prepositional phrase "to a," conveying the grammatical case while maintaining the root sense of a unifying fastening. |
