fortunate (neuter singular)

Morphological NotesAdjective, neuter singular; appears in nominative or accusative singular forms (μακάριον/μακάριόν), functioning substantivally or predicatively depending on usage.
Rendering Rationale"Fortunate" best reflects the objective state of well-being or privileged condition inherent in μακάριος, avoiding purely subjective "happy." The neuter singular form is preserved by rendering it as a singular substantive adjective.
