SIBI-P1 Translation G2526-01
according to which
| Morphological Notes | Adverb (indeclinable particle), functioning conjunctively to express correspondence or proportional relation. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the compound sense of κατά (according to) plus ὅ (which), expressing correspondence or conformity to a stated standard. As an adverbial particle, it introduces proportional or comparative alignment without inflecting for case or number. |
