SIBI-P1 Translation G2544-01
and yet indeed
| Morphological Notes | Coordinating conjunction; emphatic concessive particle formed from καί + τοι + enclitic γέ. |
| Rendering Rationale | This rendering preserves the compounded force of καί (and/even), τοι (indeed/surely), and the emphatic γέ, expressing strong concessive contrast. As a coordinating conjunction, it introduces a statement that stands in emphatic contrast to expectation. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
although indeed
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | 'although indeed' more clearly expresses concessive force in proper English for this conjunction in context; 'and yet indeed' is less idiomatic as a concessive. P1 was close but required adjustment for English usage and context. |
