SIBI-P1 Translation G870-01
fearlessly
| Morphological Notes | Adverb (Gr,D); indeclinable; describes manner of action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The alpha privative (ἀ-) negates φόβος (fear), yielding an adverb that describes action done without fear. "Fearlessly" preserves the root sense and reflects its adverbial manner function. |
