Morphological NotesDemonstrative determiner; dative feminine plural (Gr,ED,,,,DFP); from οὗτος; indicates near deixis and agrees with a feminine plural noun.
Rendering RationaleThe dative feminine plural form ταύταις denotes proximity and agrees with feminine plural referents; the dative case is best reflected in English with the prepositional sense "to" (or "for"), preserving both demonstrative force and case.
