still-yet
| Root | ἔτι (eti) |
| Core Meanings | still, yet, further, continuing, in addition, longer |
| Semantic Range | continued time (still), persistence (yet), addition (also, further), duration (longer), succession (after that), or intensified degree (even now, yet more) depending on context. |
| Conceptual Significance | ἔτι frequently marks moments of divine patience, ongoing opportunity, or continued human condition (e.g., "while we were still..."). It underscores the tension between what persists and what is about to change, often highlighting mercy, delay of judgment, or the unfolding of redemptive events. |
| Morphological Notes | Adverb (Gr,D); indeclinable. Modifies verbs, adjectives, or clauses to express continued time, persistence, addition, or further extent. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adverb ἔτι denotes continued duration or extension in time or degree. Rendering it as "still-yet" preserves both its temporal continuity ("still") and its sense of ongoing extension or addition ("yet"). As an indeclinable adverb (Gr,D), it carries no inflectional features, so the rendering reflects its simple adverbial force. |
