SIBI-P1 Translation G5590-02
to living selves
| Morphological Notes | Noun, dative feminine plural (Gr,N,,,,,DFP): indicating indirect object, means, or reference; feminine plural form of ψυχή. |
| Rendering Rationale | The dative plural form denotes multiple recipients or reference objects, so "to living selves" preserves the plural and dative force while reflecting the root idea of ψυχή as the animate, breathing self or life-being. |
