just as
| Morphological Notes | Subordinating conjunction; intensified comparative adverb; indeclinable; introduces a clause of comparison. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Just as" preserves the intensified comparative force of ὡς plus the emphatic particle περ, conveying precise likeness or proportional correspondence. As a subordinating conjunction, it introduces a comparison without inflectional variation. |
