to-a-greater-degree
| Morphological Notes | Gr,D — adverb; comparative form (neuter of the comparative related to μάλα/μάλιστα) used adverbially. It is indeclinable and does not mark gender, number, or case. |
| Rendering Rationale | μᾶλλον is the comparative adverb meaning "more" or "to a greater extent." Rendering it as "to-a-greater-degree" preserves its comparative force and adverbial function, reflecting that it modifies verbs, adjectives, or clauses by intensifying or contrasting them rather than functioning as a noun or adjective. |
