SIBI-P1 Translation G1261-03
a reasoning process
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative masculine singular (Gr,N,,,,,AMS): denotes a single instance of reasoning, deliberation, or debate functioning as a direct object or verbal complement. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering captures the core idea of structured reasoning or deliberation inherent in διαλογισμός, reflecting its root sense from λογ- ('to reckon, consider') with the intensifying διά. The accusative masculine singular form is represented as a singular, indefinite object ('a reasoning process'). |
