to the sea
| Morphological Notes | Noun; dative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,DFS); denotes a single sea in dative case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The dative singular form θαλάσσῃ denotes relation or location with respect to a single sea; "to the sea" preserves the basic dative sense while retaining the core meaning of a large body of salt water. |
