SIBI-P1 Translation G5212-04
to your (plural)
| Morphological Notes | Adjectival possessive pronoun; 2nd person plural; dative masculine singular form agreeing with a masculine singular noun in the dative. |
| Rendering Rationale | The dative masculine singular form ὑμετέρῳ denotes possession or association in the second person plural. Rendering it as "to your (plural)" preserves both the possessive sense and the dative case relationship while maintaining plurality of the addressees. |
