SIBI-P1 G2549-01

badness (feminine singular; in dative forms: to/with/by badness)

Morphological NotesNoun; nominative feminine singular (NFS) and dative feminine singular (DFS) forms attested. The -ία ending marks an abstract quality derived from the adjective κακός (bad).
Rendering RationaleThe rendering "badness" preserves the direct connection to the root κακός (bad, evil) and keeps the abstract quality inherent in the -ία suffix. The nominative feminine singular form denotes "badness" as a subject or quality, while the dative feminine singular forms convey association or means ("to/with/by badness"), reflecting the grammatical case distinctions present in the morphology.
