SIBI-P1 Translation G1566-01
to that place
| Morphological Notes | Adverb of direction (Gr,D); derived from ἐκεῖ with suffix -σε indicating motion toward a place. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adverb combines ἐκεῖ (there) with the directional suffix -σε, explicitly marking motion toward a previously indicated location. "To that place" preserves the directional force rather than the static sense of "there." |
