SIBI-P1 Translation G179-01
of an indissoluble
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, genitive feminine singular (Gr,AA,,,,GFS); attributive form modifying a feminine singular noun in the genitive case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The alpha privative negates καταλύω (“to dissolve, abolish, destroy”), yielding “not able to be dissolved.” The genitive feminine singular form is reflected by “of an indissoluble,” preserving its attributive adjectival force in genitive case. |
