SIBI-P1 Translation G460-01
lawlessly
| Morphological Notes | Adverb (Gr,D): modifies a verb to describe action done in a lawless manner. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adverbial form of ἄνομος (“without law”), built from ἀ- (without) + νόμος (law), denotes action carried out in a manner devoid of or contrary to law. Rendering it as “lawlessly” preserves both the privative force and its adverbial morphology. |
