corresponding counterpart
| Morphological Notes | Substantive adjective; nominative neuter singular (Gr,NS,,,,NNS), functioning as a noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Corresponding counterpart" reflects the compound sense of ἀντί (corresponding to) + τύπος (pattern, model), conveying something formed after and matching an original pattern. The nominative neuter singular substantive adjective functions as a singular conceptual noun, rendered in English as a singular entity. |
