SIBI-P1 G2859-01
in the bosom-fold
| Morphological Notes | Noun, dative masculine singular (Gr,N,,,,,DMS,); indicating location, sphere, or close association in or within a single "bosom" or fold. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "bosom-fold" preserves the concrete image of κόλπος as the fold or hollow formed by a garment at the chest, extended metaphorically to a place of closeness or enclosure. The dative masculine singular form (κόλπῳ) is reflected by the prepositional sense "in," conveying the locative/associative force typical of the dative case. |
