SIBI-P1 G36405-01

in a small measure

Morphological NotesGr,D — adverb; indeclinable form functioning adverbially to express degree, extent, or sometimes duration (“a little, slightly, briefly”).
Rendering RationaleThe adverb ὀλίγον derives from ὀλίγος (“small, little”) and expresses degree or extent. Rendering it as “in a small measure” preserves the root idea of smallness while reflecting its adverbial function (Gr,D), indicating manner or degree rather than describing a noun.
