| Morphological Notes | Noun, dative singular, masculine (Gr,N,,,,,DMS); denotes indirect object, location, or sphere in which something occurs. |
| Rendering Rationale | The dative singular masculine form οἴκῳ denotes location or relation, naturally rendered with "to" or "in" in English. "Dwelling" preserves the root sense of an inhabited place while allowing for both structure and household extensions. |
