SIBI-P1 G1939-05
over-desirings (accusative feminine plural); of an over-desire (genitive feminine singular)
| Morphological Notes | Noun; accusative feminine plural (AFP) in most occurrences, functioning as direct object; one instance genitive feminine singular (GFS), indicating possession, source, or description. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "over-desirings" preserves the intensified sense of ἐπι- (upon/over) joined to θυμός (passion, impulse), conveying a strong or overreaching desire. The accusative feminine plural reflects the predominant AFP morphology in the data, while the genitive feminine singular form is represented as "of an over-desire," preserving its case and number. |
