just-as
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction (CS = subordinating conjunction). Indeclinable; introduces a comparative clause and does not carry tense, voice, mood, case, number, or gender. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "just-as" preserves the comparative force of ὡς ("as") while reflecting the intensifying particle περ, which strengthens the comparison to mean "exactly as" or "just as indeed." As a conjunction, it introduces a clause of comparison, and the hyphenated form signals its tight comparative function. |
