SIBI-P1 Translation G1069-02
adjoining residents
| Morphological Notes | Noun, nominative masculine plural (Gr,N,,,,,NMP): refers to multiple male or mixed-gender persons identified as those living nearby, functioning as the subject form. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Adjoining residents" preserves the root sense of shared ground or proximity (from γῆ, land) and reflects the nominative masculine plural form by rendering it as a plural subject noun. |
