SIBI-P1 Translation G1773-01
by night
| Morphological Notes | Adverb (neuter accusative form of a compound used adverbially); denotes temporal setting during the night. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adverb derives from ἐν (in/during) and νύξ (night), literally meaning "in the night." "By night" preserves both the root components and its temporal adverbial force without adding contextual nuance. |
