SIBI-P1 Translation G3775-01
to the ears
| Morphological Notes | Noun, dative plural, neuter (Gr,N,,,,,DNP) — "ears" in the dative case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The dative plural form denotes the indirect object or sphere, rendered naturally in English as "to the ears." This preserves the concrete anatomical sense of the organ of hearing while allowing for its extended perceptive sense. |
