SIBI-P1 Translation G1739-01
inner construction
| Morphological Notes | Noun, nominative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,NFS); functioning as a singular subject-form denoting a state, structure, or process. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Inner construction" preserves the root idea of building (δέμ-) combined with ἐν ("within"), emphasizing something built internally. The nominative feminine singular form is reflected as a singular abstract noun in English. |
