SIBI-P1 Translation G2877-02
little girl
| Morphological Notes | Noun, nominative singular, neuter; diminutive form of κόρη indicating a young or small female child. |
| Rendering Rationale | The diminutive suffix -ιον marks a small or young female child, so "little girl" preserves both the root idea (young maiden) and the diminutive force. As nominative singular neuter, it stands as a singular subject noun, which English naturally renders without gender marking. |
