| Morphological Notes | Preposition (Gr,P) governing the accusative case; indicates succession or sequence when used with the accusative. |
| Rendering Rationale | With the accusative case, μετά denotes sequence or succession rather than association. "After" preserves the root idea of following or succeeding in temporal or logical order. |
