SIBI-P1 Translation G4289-01
the eager readiness
| Morphological Notes | Adjective used substantivally; nominative neuter singular (predicate adjective form functioning as a noun). |
| Rendering Rationale | The neuter nominative singular form functions substantivally, so it is rendered as a noun phrase. "Eager readiness" preserves the root sense of a spirit set forward or beforehand, expressing active, willing disposition rather than mere consent. |
