SIBI-P1 Translation G3798-02
of evening
| Morphological Notes | Substantive adjective, feminine, singular, genitive (Gr,NS,,,,GFS): functioning as a noun meaning "evening," in the genitive case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The lemma ὄψιος denotes what is late or belonging to the latter part of the day; in the feminine it functions substantivally as "evening." The genitive feminine singular form ὀψίας is therefore rendered "of evening," preserving both its substantival sense and genitive case. |
