SIBI-P1 G227-01
the unconcealed realities (nominative/accusative neuter plural); the unconcealed one (accusative feminine singular)
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, from ἀληθής. Forms attested: nominative neuter plural (NNP), accusative neuter plural (ANP), and accusative feminine singular (AFS). Used substantively in the neuter plural to denote “true things.” |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective ἀληθής derives from the negative prefix ἀ- and λανθάνω (“to be hidden”), conveying what is not hidden or concealed. Rendering it as “unconcealed” preserves this root sense. The neuter plural forms are expressed as “realities” to reflect their substantive use, while the accusative feminine singular is rendered “the unconcealed one,” maintaining gender, number, and case distinctions. |
