SIBI-P1 Translation G1035-03
act of eating
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,AFS); denotes a single instance or concept of the act of eating functioning as a direct object. |
| Rendering Rationale | The primary sense of βρῶσις is the abstract action or process of eating or consuming, rather than the concrete object eaten. "Act of eating" preserves this process-oriented meaning while reflecting the accusative singular form as a direct object without altering its core sense. |
