SIBI-P1 Translation G2537-05
of a new-kind
| Morphological Notes | Attributive adjective; genitive feminine singular (Gr,AA,,,,GFS); modifies a feminine noun in the genitive case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the qualitative sense of καινός as new in character or nature rather than recent in time, and the genitive feminine singular form is reflected by the prepositional phrase "of a," indicating possession or association with a feminine noun. |
