| Morphological Notes | Adjective functioning substantively; accusative neuter plural (Gr,NS,,,,ANP). |
| Rendering Rationale | "New things" preserves the neuter plural accusative form while reflecting καινός as new in kind or quality rather than merely recent. The plural noun force reflects its substantive adjectival use. |
