perhaps
| Morphological Notes | Adverb (Gr,D); indeclinable; functions adverbially to modify verbs or clauses, expressing manner or likelihood. |
| Rendering Rationale | As an indeclinable adverb derived from ταχύς (quick, swift), τάχα retains the notion of nearness or promptness, but in Koine usage often expresses tentative expectation. "Perhaps" best captures this adverbial nuance of possible or anticipated occurrence without imposing contextual specifics. |
