in comparative-illustrations
| Morphological Notes | Noun, dative feminine plural (Gr,N,,,,,DFP,). The dative case commonly expresses means, manner, or sphere ("by," "with," or "in"); plural; feminine gender. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the root sense of παραβολή as something "thrown alongside" for comparison (παρά + βάλλω), hence a comparison or illustrative analogy. The dative plural form is reflected by "in," conveying the common instrumental or locative force of the dative, and by the plural "illustrations." |
