SIBI-P1 Translation G3398-05
of small ones
| Morphological Notes | Substantive adjective; genitive masculine plural (Gr,NS,,,,GMP) — functioning as a noun: "small ones" in the genitive case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive masculine plural form denotes possession or association and is rendered "of small ones," preserving both the adjectival root meaning (small, minor) and its substantive plural usage. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
small
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'of small ones' is grammatically incorrect in this context—μικρόν here modifies χρόνον and means 'small' as an adjective, not 'of small ones' as a substantive. The context requires 'small' to modify 'span of time.' |
