SIBI-P1 Translation G877-01
senselessness
| Morphological Notes | Noun, nominative feminine singular; abstract noun formed with -σύνη indicating a quality or state. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Senselessness" directly reflects the root ἄφρων (without sense) and the abstract noun suffix -σύνη, conveying the state or quality of lacking reason. As a nominative feminine singular abstract noun, it denotes the condition itself rather than an action. |
