SIBI-P1 Translation G4714-05
standing position
| Morphological Notes | Noun, nominative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,NFS); a singular abstract noun functioning as the subject or predicate nominative. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Standing position" preserves the core root idea from στα- (to stand, to be set) with the nominal sense of an act or state of standing. As a nominative feminine singular noun, it is rendered as a simple abstract substantive without contextual narrowing to either faction or revolt. |
