κρίματι
kríma
judgment
A legal decision, verdict, or judgment rendered by an authority; by extension, the outcome or consequence of a judgment—whether favorable or unfavorable. This can refer to an official judicial sentence, the state of being judged, or the consequences that ensue from such a decision, including both condemnation and acquittal. In particular contexts, it can also carry the connotation of a condemnation, punishment, or the declaration of guilt. The primary sense is of a formal determination or decision, with secondary senses shaped by context (e.g. the punishment itself, or a principle of judgment justified by precedent).

SIBI-P1 Translation G2917-03
to the verdict
| Morphological Notes | Noun, neuter, singular, dative (Gr,N,,,,,DNS); denotes the result of judging in dative case, expressing relation, reference, means, or sphere. |
| Rendering Rationale | The dative singular neuter form indicates relation or reference, naturally rendered in English with "to" or "in." "Verdict" reflects the root sense of κρίνω (to judge, decide) and the -μα suffix indicating the result of judging—"that which has been decided." |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
judgment
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Context demands an abstract rendering, as the meaning is about judgment rather than a specific verdict. SILEX allows either; 'judgment' better fits. |
