O king
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine, singular, vocative; direct address to one identified as a sovereign ruler. |
| Rendering Rationale | The vocative singular directly addresses a male sovereign, so "O king" preserves both the core meaning of a ruling authority and the vocative force of direct address. |
