SIBI-P1 Translation G4128-01
abundant multitudes
| Morphological Notes | Noun, nominative, neuter, plural (Gr,N,,,,,NNP); functioning as a plural subject or substantive collective. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the root sense of fullness and abundance (πλῆθ-) while preserving the nominative plural form as multiple large collective groups. "Abundant" conveys the idea of fullness inherent in the root rather than mere numerical quantity. |
