SIBI-P1 G1537-02
out-from (governing the genitive)
| Morphological Notes | Preposition (Gr,P) taking a genitive object; indeclinable form. The form ἐξ appears before vowels, but meaning and function remain the same. It governs the genitive to indicate source, origin, separation, or means. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "out-from" preserves the core idea of emergence or origin inherent in ἐκ, emphasizing movement or derivation from within a source. As a preposition that governs the genitive case, it consistently marks source, separation, or cause, which this rendering reflects. |
