SIBI-P1 Translation G1699-01
the things that are mine
| Morphological Notes | Personal possessive pronoun (from ἐμός); nominative, neuter, plural; first person singular possession; substantival use. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form ἐμὰ is nominative neuter plural, functioning substantivally to denote items or matters belonging to the speaker. "The things that are mine" preserves both the possessive force of the root and the neuter plural morphology. |
