SIBI-P1 G4439-03

gate-portal (feminine singular); to/at the gate-portal (feminine singular dative)

Morphological NotesNoun; nominative feminine singular (NFS) and dative feminine singular (DFS). The nominative form functions as subject or predicate noun; the dative form expresses location ("at"), means, or indirect object ("to").
Rendering RationaleThe rendering "gate-portal" preserves the concrete sense of πύλη as a structural entrance or gate-leaf rather than a broad concept like "city" or "authority." The nominative feminine singular form denotes "the gate-portal" as subject, while the dative feminine singular form is reflected by "to/at the gate-portal," preserving the case function shown in the morphology.
