vital life
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative singular, feminine (Gr,N,,,,,AFS): denotes a single instance or concept of life functioning as the object of an action. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Vital life" reflects the root ζω- (to live) and emphasizes the animate quality or principle of being alive, not merely biological duration. The accusative singular form denotes this life as a direct object while preserving its core semantic force. |
