to stubborn unpersuadableness
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine, singular, dative (Gr,N,,,,,DFS); abstract state or quality in the dative case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the root sense of being unwilling to be persuaded (πειθ-) with the privative force (ἀ-) and reflects the abstract noun form. The dative singular is represented with "to," maintaining its morphological case without imposing contextual meaning. |
