SIBI-P1 Translation G3745-05
as much as
| Morphological Notes | Relative pronoun/adjective; accusative, masculine, singular (Gr,RR,,,,AMS); expressing extent or degree tied to a singular masculine referent. |
| Rendering Rationale | The accusative masculine singular form expresses a quantified extent or degree applied to a singular referent. "As much as" preserves the core quantitative force of ὅσος while allowing the accusative function to remain object-oriented in usage. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
as long as
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'as much as' is not natural for the temporal extent expressed here. SILEX notes that 'as long as' or 'for as long as' is contextually correct. Matched to time, not quantity. |
