SIBI-P1 Translation G225-02
unconcealed truth
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,AFS); abstract noun denoting a state or quality. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the root sense of ἀ- (not) + λανθάνω (to be hidden), conveying truth as what is unconcealed or brought into the open. As an accusative feminine singular noun, it denotes the object or content of ‘truth’ in its abstract quality. |
