silver
| Morphological Notes | Noun; accusative singular masculine (Gr,N,,,,,AMS) — direct object form of ἄργυρος. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "silver" directly reflects the core meaning of ἄργυρος as the bright, shining precious metal. The accusative singular masculine form (ἄργυρον) indicates a single instance of the substance or object as a direct object, which in English remains "silver." |
