| Morphological Notes | Noun, dative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,DFS); from νύξ, a primary noun meaning night. |
| Rendering Rationale | The dative feminine singular form indicates location or sphere, naturally rendered in English with "in." "In night" preserves the core meaning of the period of darkness while reflecting the dative case without adding contextual assumptions. |
