SIBI-P1 Translation G765-06
of the irreverent
| Morphological Notes | Substantive adjective; genitive masculine plural (describing or functioning as a noun: "irreverent ones"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive masculine plural form is reflected by "of the," while "irreverent" preserves the core meaning of one lacking active reverence (σεβ-) toward what is sacred, negated by the privative alpha. |
