SIBI-P1 G243-01
but rather (on-the-other-hand)
| Morphological Notes | Gr,CO and Gr,CC = coordinating conjunction (adversative). Indeclinable particle; no tense, voice, mood, case, gender, or number. Used to join clauses with strong contrast, correction, or exception. |
| Rendering Rationale | The conjunction ἀλλά derives from ἄλλος (“other”), originally meaning “other things” and functioning adverbially to mark contrast. Rendering it as “but rather (on-the-other-hand)” preserves this root sense of otherness while reflecting its grammatical role as an adversative coordinating conjunction introducing a contrasting clause or correction. |
