Senses in use

  1. Location-marking connective · dominant

    The supplied morphology labels the form as a conjunction in clauses such as John 12:26, where the APB renders Jesus' location and the servant's presence together, and James 3:16, where zeal and rivalry are followed by disorder and evil. It is also labeled an adverb in place-identifying clauses: in Acts 17:1 the APB renders Thessalonica as the place with a Jewish synagogue, while John 19:41 describes a garden at the place of the crucifixion.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the location relation with “where,” as in Acts 17:1 and John 19:41, and sometimes with “wherever,” as in James 3:4. These renderings show the clause's overall presentation rather than a fixed English equivalent for each occurrence.
