SIBI-P1 G1739-01
an in-dwelling structure
| Morphological Notes | Noun, nominative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,NFS,); functions as the subject or predicate nominative in its clause; singular feminine form of a -σις abstract noun indicating a result or process of building. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term combines ἐν (in) with δόμησις (building, construction), conveying the idea of a structure built for dwelling within. Rendering it "an in-dwelling structure" preserves the spatial nuance of ἐν and the construction sense of δόμησις, while reflecting its nominative singular feminine form as a single identified structure. |
