| Morphological Notes | Gr,EP,,,2DMS / 2DNS: possessive adjective, second person, dative singular masculine or dative singular neuter; agrees with a dative singular noun in gender and number. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective σῷ is the dative singular masculine or neuter form of σός, meaning "belonging to you." Rendering it as "to your-own" preserves both the possessive force derived from σύ (you) and the dative case, which commonly expresses indirect object, sphere, or relation. The masculine/neuter singular reflects agreement with a singular noun of those genders. |
