SIBI-P1 Translation G5262-03
to a model pattern
| Morphological Notes | Noun, dative singular, neuter (Gr,N,,,,,DNS) — indicating indirect object, instrument, reference, or sphere. |
| Rendering Rationale | The dative singular neuter form is rendered with the prepositional sense "to" to reflect the dative case, while "model pattern" preserves the root idea of something shown or demonstrated as an illustrative standard. |
