SIBI-P1 Translation G543-03
of stubborn resistance to persuasion
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine, singular, genitive (Gr,N,,,,,GFS) — denotes a state or quality in genitive form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the abstract noun formed from ἀ- (not) + πείθω (to persuade), denoting a state of being unpersuaded or resistant. The genitive singular is conveyed by "of," preserving the morphological form while maintaining the core idea of obstinate refusal to be convinced. |
