SIBI-P1 Translation G504-01
waterless
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, nominative feminine plural (Gr,AA,,,,NFP); attributive form agreeing with a feminine plural noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Waterless" directly reflects the alpha privative (ἀ-) joined to ὕδωρ (water), preserving the core sense "without water." As nominative feminine plural, it functions attributively describing feminine plural nouns, which English conveys through the uninflected adjective form. |
