| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative singular, neuter (Gr,N,,,,,ANS) |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun οὖς denotes the physical organ of hearing and, by extension, the faculty of perception. As accusative singular neuter, it is rendered simply as "ear," since English does not mark case on nouns but preserves singular number. |
