SIBI-P1 Translation G4113-03
broad public squares
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine; primarily accusative plural (AFP), with some genitive singular (GFS) occurrences in this form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the root idea of breadth (πλατ-) and reflects the accusative plural feminine form by using a plural noun. "Public squares" captures the primary urban sense of a wide civic plaza rather than a narrow street. |
