οἵῳ
hoîos
whatever
Relative and qualitative pronoun: of what sort, such as, of such a kind. Used to describe the nature, character, or quality of a person, thing, or action, often in a comparative or correlative construction. Depending on context, can be translated as 'such as,' 'of such kind as,' 'what sort of,' 'like,' or 'such.' Frequently appears in correlative clauses (e.g., οἷος... τοιοῦτος, 'such as... such') or in exclamatory senses ('what sort!') to indicate quality, character, or manner. In the neuter, can function adverbially to mean 'as,' 'in such a way,' or, with a negative, 'not so.'

SIBI-P1 Translation G3634-02
to such a kind
| Morphological Notes | Adjective (restrictive/qualitative pronoun), dative neuter singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The dative neuter singular form οἵῳ expresses quality or kind in the dative case, indicating relation or manner. "To such a kind" preserves the qualitative force of the root and reflects the dative singular morphology. |
