SIBI-P1 Translation G3530-01
Victory-of-the-People
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine, nominative, singular (proper name). |
| Rendering Rationale | The compound name joins νῖκος (victory) and δῆμος (people), so "Victory-of-the-People" preserves both root elements transparently. As nominative masculine singular, it functions as a proper name in subject form, reflected here as a standalone personal designation. |
