SIBI-P1 Translation G448-01
merciless
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, nominative feminine singular (Gr,NP,,,,NFS); predicate form describing a feminine singular noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering directly reflects the negated root ἵλεως (“merciful, gracious”) with the alpha-privative prefix, yielding the sense “not merciful.” As a nominative feminine singular adjective, it describes a feminine subject as characterized by a lack of mercy. |
