SIBI-P1 G4142-03

to a little-boat

Morphological NotesNoun; dative case; neuter gender; singular number. Diminutive form of πλοῖον, indicating a smaller type of vessel.
Rendering RationaleThe noun πλοιάριον is a diminutive form of πλοῖον (ship, vessel), so "little-boat" preserves the root connection to a seagoing vessel while reflecting its smaller size. The morphology (dative, neuter, singular) is represented by the English prepositional sense "to," conveying the dative function with a singular, indefinite noun.
