SIBI-P1 Translation G5270-01
underneath
| Morphological Notes | Preposition taking the genitive case; expresses spatial location beneath an object or reference point. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Underneath" directly reflects the compound force of ὑπό (under) and κάτω (down/below), preserving the intensified spatial sense of being situated lower than and directly under something. As a preposition governing the genitive, it denotes position beneath a reference point. |
