SIBI-P1 Translation G3778-09
this (feminine singular)
| Morphological Notes | Demonstrative determiner; accusative feminine singular (Gr,ED,,,,AFS); agrees with a feminine singular noun and functions attributively or substantively in the accusative case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The accusative feminine singular form ταύτην designates a specific feminine singular referent that is near or present to the speaker or discourse. "This" preserves the demonstrative force and proximity inherent in οὗτος while reflecting its singular feminine agreement. |
