| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,DMS — noun, dative case, masculine, singular. The dative marks indirect object, location, means, or association; here it is a single masculine noun form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun ποταμῷ is dative masculine singular, indicating relation such as "to," "for," or "in" a river. Rendering it as "to a flowing-river" preserves the dative force and reflects the root sense of ποταμός as a current of flowing water, not merely a static body. |
