to signs
| Morphological Notes | Noun, neuter, dative plural (Gr,N,,,,,DNP): indicates indirect object, means, or association; plural form of σημεῖον. |
| Rendering Rationale | The dative plural form denotes indirect object, means, or sphere, here rendered concisely as "to signs" to preserve the plural number and dative case. "Signs" reflects the root sense of that which marks, signifies, or indicates. |
