SIBI-P1 Translation G4102-03
trust
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,AFS); abstract noun formed with -ις suffix from πείθω. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Trust" most directly reflects the root sense derived from πείθω (to persuade, to trust), conveying confident reliance or conviction. As accusative feminine singular, it represents trust as the direct object or focus of action without altering its abstract noun force. |
