SIBI-P1 G3598-01

in the way

Morphological NotesNoun, dative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,DFS,). The dative case here most naturally conveys location ("in/on the way"), though it may also express means or association depending on context.
Rendering RationaleThe lemma ὁδός denotes a road or path, extended metaphorically to a manner or course of life. The form ὁδῷ is dative feminine singular, which commonly expresses location or sphere; rendering it "in the way" preserves both the concrete sense of a road and the dative function indicating position or movement within that path.
