SIBI-P1 Translation G3778-08
to this one
| Morphological Notes | Demonstrative determiner/pronoun; dative feminine singular (Gr,ED,,,,DFS); agrees with a feminine singular referent in the dative case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form ταύτῃ is dative feminine singular, so the rendering includes the dative sense "to" and preserves the demonstrative force of pointing to what is near or present as "this one." English does not mark grammatical gender here, but the singular referent is maintained. |
