SIBI-P1 Translation G2374-05
of the door
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive feminine singular (form θύρας; also attested as accusative feminine plural in some occurrences). |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive feminine singular form denotes possession or association, rendered concisely as "of the door." This preserves the core sense of an entryway or barrier allowing passage. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
door
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | 'Door' is the more precise term here, matching the literal Greek word rather than 'of the door,' which would inappropriately compound the genitive with the preceding preposition. |
