SIBI-P1 Translation G4228-06

to the feet

Morphological NotesNoun, dative masculine plural (Gr,N,,,,,DMP); from πούς (root ποδ-), referring to feet in the dative plural form.
Rendering RationaleThe dative masculine plural form conveys "feet" as the indirect object, instrument, or location. "To the feet" preserves the plural noun and reflects the dative case without imposing specific contextual nuance.

SILEX v2

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)

feet

Same as P1No — adjusted for context
RationaleP1 'to the feet' redundantly overlaps with the function of τοῖς. Since τοῖς ποσὶν is the indirect object, 'for the feet' is complete; singular 'feet' best keeps to strict one-to-one. Also, plurality is correct. Removed 'to the' as handled by previous P2 rendering.
