SIBI-P1 G4633-04

a tent-dwelling

Morphological NotesNoun, accusative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,AFS,). The accusative case marks it as the direct object of a verb or the object of certain prepositions; feminine grammatical gender; singular number.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering "tent-dwelling" preserves the core image of a portable, fabric shelter inherent in σκηνή, while "a" reflects the singular form without adding definiteness not present in the morphology. As an accusative feminine singular noun, it functions as a direct object in its clause, which English expresses by position rather than inflection.
