SIBI-P1 G4459-01
in-what-manner?
| Morphological Notes | Gr,D = interrogative adverb (indeclinable), functioning to ask about manner or means; Gr,CS = subordinating conjunction introducing an indirect question (“how/that in what manner”). No inflection for case, number, or gender. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "in-what-manner?" preserves the interrogative force and the core sense of manner or means inherent in πῶς. As an indeclinable adverb (and at times a subordinating conjunction), it does not carry tense, voice, number, or gender, so the translation reflects its function as a direct or indirect question about manner. |
