SIBI-P1 Translation G716-02
to a chariot
| Morphological Notes | Noun, dative singular, neuter (Gr,N,,,,,DNS) |
| Rendering Rationale | The dative singular neuter form is rendered with the English preposition "to" to reflect dative case, while "chariot" preserves the core sense of a fitted-together wheeled vehicle derived from the ἁρμ- root. |

chariot
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 includes 'to a chariot' but the prepositional meaning is already supplied by the articles in previous words; just 'chariot' is needed here to strictly follow the Greek sequence. |
