SIBI-P1 Translation G2078-03
the farthest (feminine plural)
| Morphological Notes | Adjective (superlative), accusative feminine plural (Gr,EO,,,,AFP); modifying or substantivally describing feminine plural nouns in the accusative case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The superlative adjective denotes what is most remote or last in a series. Rendering it as "the farthest" preserves the core spatial-temporal extremity of the root, while the feminine plural accusative form is reflected by indicating feminine plural agreement. |
