SIBI-P1 Translation G767-01
of an undistinguished one
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, genitive feminine singular (attributive); from ἄσημος, "without a mark." |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the core idea of being without a mark or distinction. The genitive feminine singular form is conveyed by "of," while "undistinguished" preserves the root sense of lacking a distinguishing sign or recognized status. |
