SIBI-P1 Translation G884-01
ungrateful ones
| Morphological Notes | Adjective functioning substantively; nominative masculine plural (Gr,NS,,,,NMP), describing a group characterized by lack of gratitude. |
| Rendering Rationale | The alpha privative negates χαρισ- (grace, gratitude), yielding "without gratitude." The nominative masculine plural substantive adjective is rendered as "ungrateful ones" to reflect both plurality and its use as a descriptor functioning substantively. |
