SIBI-P1 Translation G3022-03
to bright-white ones
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, dative feminine plural (Gr,AA,,,,DFP); attributive form agreeing with a feminine plural noun in the dative case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective λευκαῖς is dative feminine plural, so the rendering preserves the dative sense with "to" and reflects plural feminine referents as "ones." "Bright-white" maintains the root sense of gleaming, radiant whiteness from λευκ-. |
