SIBI-P1 Translation G1857-01
the more outer
| Morphological Notes | Restrictive adjective; comparative form; accusative, neuter, singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the comparative force of ἐξώτερος ("more outside") and reflects the accusative neuter singular form, functioning substantivally as "the more outer (thing/place)." It maintains the spatial comparison inherent in the root ἔξω-. |
