SIBI-P1 G4710-02

earnest haste

Morphological NotesNoun, accusative, feminine, singular (Gr,N,,,,,AFS,); indicates a single instance of "earnest haste" functioning as the direct object of a verb or governed by a preposition.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering "earnest haste" preserves the root sense derived from σπεύδω (to hasten, to speed) while also conveying the developed meaning of eager diligence. As an accusative feminine singular noun, it functions as a singular direct object in context; English does not mark gender, but the singular object sense is maintained.
