SIBI-P1 Translation G3113-01
from afar
| Morphological Notes | Adverb (Gr,D): indeclinable adverb expressing spatial remoteness or position at a distance, without case, gender, or number. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adverb combines μακρός (long, far) with the suffix -θεν indicating origin or source, yielding the sense "from a far place." "From afar" preserves both the spatial remoteness and the idea of distance as the point of origin inherent in the morphology. |
