in outward form
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine, singular, dative (Gr,N,,,,,DFS): denotes a single instance of "form" functioning in the dative case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the core idea of visible or external manifestation inherent in μορφή. The dative singular is reflected with "in," conveying the sense of existing or being in a particular outward form. |
