since
| Morphological Notes | Subordinating conjunction (Gr,CS); indeclinable particle formed from ἐπεί + δή; introduces causal or temporal subordinate clauses. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Since" preserves the primary causal force of this strengthened conjunction, introducing a reason now evident or established. As a subordinating conjunction, it marks either causal or temporal grounding without inflectional variation. |
