SIBI-P1 G2250-01
in a day
| Morphological Notes | Noun, dative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,DFS,). The dative here typically functions as a temporal dative (“in/on a day”) indicating the time when something occurs. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form ἡμέρᾳ is dative feminine singular, which commonly expresses location in time (“in” or “on” a day) or temporal setting. The rendering “in a day” preserves the singular sense of a specific day-period while reflecting the dative case’s temporal-locative force. |
