SIBI-P1 Translation G793-02
unestablished (feminine plural, accusative)
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, accusative feminine plural (Gr,AA,,,,AFP); attributive form modifying a feminine plural noun in the accusative case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective derives from ἀ- (not) + στηρίζω (to make firm, establish), thus meaning "not established" or "not made firm." Rendering it as "unestablished" preserves the root connection to being made firm, and the note reflects its accusative feminine plural form. |
