near-at-hand
| Morphological Notes | Gr,D — adverb; indeclinable; expresses proximity in space or time and modifies verbs, adjectives, or entire clauses. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "near-at-hand" preserves the core spatial and temporal sense of close proximity inherent in ἐγγύς, while conveying immediacy. As an adverb (Gr,D), it functions to modify verbs or clauses, so the English rendering reflects its adverbial force without adding nominal or verbal features. |
