SIBI-P1 Translation G846-04
to her
| Morphological Notes | Personal pronoun; 3rd person; feminine; singular; dative case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The dative feminine singular form indicates a third-person feminine referent in the indirect object or locative sense, best rendered "to her" to preserve both person and case. This reflects the core function of αὐτός as a third-person referential pronoun. |
