SIBI-P1 Translation G5544-01
benevolent goodness
| Morphological Notes | Noun, nominative, feminine, singular; an abstract quality noun formed with -ότης indicating a state or condition. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering captures the abstract quality formed by the -ότης suffix, denoting the state of being χρηστός (good, kind, upright). "Benevolent goodness" preserves both the moral integrity and the active, outward-facing kindness inherent in the term; as nominative singular, it stands as a substantive quality. |
