SIBI-P1 G228-06
the genuinely-true (thing)
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, accusative neuter singular (ANS) in the cited form; other attested forms include nominative masculine singular (NMS), accusative masculine singular (AMS), nominative neuter singular (NNS), and genitive plural (GNP). The adjective agrees in gender, number, and case with the noun it modifies or may function substantivally. |
| Rendering Rationale | ἀληθινός denotes that which is true in the fullest sense—real, authentic, corresponding to reality (from ἀληθής, "true"). The form ἀληθινὸν (Gr,NS,,,,ANS,) is accusative neuter singular, so the rendering reflects a singular neuter direct object: "the genuinely-true (thing)," preserving both its qualitative force and grammatical function. |
