SIBI-P1 G3752-01
whenever (in whatever case that)
| Morphological Notes | Gr,CS = Greek conjunction, subordinating. Indeclinable; formed from ὅτε + ἄν, with ἄν marking contingency or indefiniteness, typically used with the subjunctive in temporal clauses. |
| Rendering Rationale | ὅταν combines ὅτε (when) with the particle ἄν, which adds contingency or indefiniteness. Rendering it as "whenever (in whatever case that)" preserves both its temporal sense and its inherent element of indefiniteness or potentiality. As a subordinating conjunction, it introduces dependent clauses that express repeated or uncertain occurrences. |
