SIBI-P1 G4642-01
the hard (thing) / of hard (ones)
| Morphological Notes | Adjective from σκληρός. Forms attested: nominative neuter singular (σκληρόν); genitive masculine plural and genitive neuter plural (σκληρῶν). Positive degree adjective describing quality; genitive expresses possession, source, or association. |
| Rendering Rationale | σκληρός denotes what is dry, rigid, or unyielding, extended metaphorically to harshness or severity. The nominative neuter singular form (σκληρόν) is rendered "the hard (thing)," preserving its adjectival force used substantively, while the genitive plural forms (σκληρῶν) are reflected as "of hard (ones)," maintaining both the root sense and the case/number distinctions. |
