Morphological NotesAdverb of place (Gr,D); indeclinable, indicating location distinct from the speaker, sometimes extended to motion toward that place.
Rendering RationaleThe adverb denotes location at a place distinct from the speaker (‘that place’), which in English is most naturally rendered as ‘there.’ As an adverb of place without inflection, it preserves its locative force without additional markers.
