SIBI-P1 Translation G5356-01
to decay
| Morphological Notes | Noun, dative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,DFS); denotes the state or condition of decay in the dative case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The dative feminine singular form (φθορᾷ) denotes the state or condition of decay or ruin; rendering it as "to decay" reflects the dative case’s typical directional or relational force while preserving the core sense of a condition of corruption or deterioration. |
