SIBI-P1 G159-01
the causing-thing
| Morphological Notes | Adjective used substantivally; accusative neuter singular (ANS). Functions as a direct object. Derived from the same root as αἰτέω (to ask), carrying the idea of responsibility or causation. |
| Rendering Rationale | αἴτιον is the accusative neuter singular form of αἴτιος, functioning substantivally. Rendering it as "the causing-thing" preserves the root sense of being causative or responsible, while the neuter singular form is reflected in the impersonal "thing," suitable for an accusative direct object. |
