SIBI-P1 Translation G227-03
true one
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, nominative masculine singular; predicate form that may function substantivally. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "true one" reflects the core sense of something genuine and not hidden or deceptive, while preserving the nominative masculine singular form, which can function substantivally as "one who is true." |
