SIBI-P1 Translation G3173-06
great (feminine singular)
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, feminine, singular, nominative (also attested in accusative feminine singular in some forms listed); predicate/adjectival form modifying a feminine singular noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective derives from the root μεγ-, denoting greatness in size, intensity, or importance. The feminine singular nominative form agrees with a feminine singular noun and is rendered simply as "great" to preserve the core sense without contextual narrowing. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
loud
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | In context, 'μεγάλῃ φωνῇ' is an established phrase meaning 'in a loud voice.' 'Great (feminine singular)' is a morphologically accurate but contextually awkward rendering. 'Loud' is the adjective modifying 'voice' here, so 'loud' matches the intended sense. |
