SIBI-P1 G1417-03

to/for two

Morphological NotesNumeral; dative plural (masculine or feminine) form of δύο. Though δύο is largely indeclinable, δυσὶν functions as the dative plural, indicating indirect object, association (“with”), or means (“by”).
Rendering RationaleThe lemma δύο denotes the number “two.” The form δυσὶν is dative plural (masculine or feminine), so the rendering "to/for two" preserves the dative case sense (indirect object, association, or means) while retaining the numerical idea inherent in the root.
