SIBI-P1 Translation G228-03
of the genuine
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, genitive feminine singular (Gr,AR/AA,,,,GFS); restrictive adjective modifying a feminine singular noun in the genitive case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective ἀληθινός denotes what is genuinely real or authentic, not merely apparent or symbolic. The genitive feminine singular form is reflected by rendering it as a descriptive genitive phrase, "of the genuine," preserving its attributive force and case. |
