SIBI-P1 Translation G2988-01
splendidly
| Morphological Notes | Adverb (Gr,D): derived from the adjective λαμπρός with the adverbial ending -ως, indicating manner. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Splendidly" preserves the root sense of brightness and magnificence from λαμπρ- while reflecting the adverbial form (-ως), indicating manner—"in a splendid way." It maintains the core idea of shining display without narrowing it to a single context like feasting. |
