SIBI-P1 G1520-02

in (within/among, governing the dative)

Morphological NotesPreposition (Gr,P) governing the dative case (D). It expresses fixed position, state, or sphere, and by extension instrumentality or association. It does not inflect for gender or number but requires a dative complement.
Rendering RationaleThe preposition ἐν denotes position or state of rest within a location, time, or sphere, and regularly governs the dative case. Rendering it as "in (within/among, governing the dative)" preserves its core locative and relational force while explicitly reflecting its grammatical function with the dative.
