SIBI-P1 Translation G2158-03
well-formed women
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, accusative feminine plural (Gr,AR,,,,AFP); describes feminine plural noun in object position. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the compound sense of "well-formed" (εὖ + σχῆμα), preserving the primary idea of good outward form with extended nuance of dignity. The feminine plural accusative morphology is reflected by rendering it as a plural feminine group functioning as the object. |
