SIBI-P1 G1161-01

but/and‑now (connecting particle)

Morphological NotesGr,CC = Greek coordinating conjunction (primary particle); indeclinable, no tense, voice, mood, person, number, gender, or case.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering "but/and‑now" preserves δέ’s function as a coordinating conjunction that can mark mild contrast ("but") or simple continuation ("and," "now"). Since it is an uninflected particle (Gr,CC), the translation reflects its connective role rather than tense, voice, or case distinctions.
