SIBI-P1 Translation G8475-01
to the caught-in-the-act thing
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, dative neuter singular (Gr,AA,,,,DNS); attributive form agreeing with a neuter noun in the dative case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective αὐτόφορος combines αὐτός (self) and φέρω (to bear/carry), conveying something borne by itself—hence caught in the act or self-evident. The dative neuter singular form is reflected with "to the" and a neuter substantive sense ("thing"). |
