SIBI-P1 Translation G1343-03
of uprightness
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine, singular, genitive (Gr,N,,,,,GFS) — abstract quality in genitive case indicating relation or possession. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive singular form denotes possession or relation, expressed in English with "of." "Uprightness" reflects the abstract quality conveyed by the -σύνη suffix and preserves the root sense of being just or conformed to justice. |
