nearly
| Morphological Notes | Adverb (Gr,D): indeclinable adverb indicating degree or temporal proximity; no case, gender, or number. |
| Rendering Rationale | As an adverb expressing proximity in degree or time, "nearly" captures the sense of something held close to a threshold but not fully reaching it. This preserves the root idea of nearness derived from σχ- (to have, hold) with the adverbial force intact. |
