SIBI-P1 Translation G4053-01
the superabundant
| Morphological Notes | Substantive adjective; neuter singular nominative (also attested in accusative singular forms). Functions as a noun meaning "that which is beyond/extra." |
| Rendering Rationale | As a neuter singular substantive adjective in the nominative, it denotes "that which is beyond the usual" as a thing in itself. "The superabundant" preserves both its adjectival force and its substantival function without importing contextual nuance. |
