eyes
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative masculine plural (Gr,N,,,,,AMP): direct-object form, masculine gender, plural number. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun denotes the physical organ of sight and, by extension, perception. The accusative masculine plural form is reflected in the simple plural "eyes," which preserves number while English does not distinguish accusative form overtly. |
