SIBI-P1 Translation G3731-01
with a violent rush
| Morphological Notes | Noun, dative singular, neuter (Gr,N,,,,,DNS); denotes the means or manner by which an action is carried out. |
| Rendering Rationale | Ὅρμημα denotes a concrete instance of forceful onset or rushing action; the dative singular form naturally conveys instrument or manner, hence "with a violent rush," preserving both the root sense of energetic assault and the dative function. |
