unutterable things
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, accusative neuter plural (Gr,AA,,,,ANP); functioning substantivally to denote multiple unspecified things. |
| Rendering Rationale | The alpha privative with ῥητός (“stated, spoken”) yields the sense “not to be spoken.” The accusative neuter plural form is rendered as a plural substantive, hence “things” that are not able or permitted to be uttered. |
