SIBI-P1 Translation G1394-02
a giving
| Morphological Notes | Noun, nominative, feminine, singular (Gr,N,,,,,NFS); denotes a single subject-form instance of the act or result of giving. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root δο- (to give) with the -σις suffix emphasizing the act or process of giving; "a giving" preserves the verbal force of the root rather than defaulting to the result (gift). The nominative feminine singular form denotes a single act or instance of giving. |
