empty things
| Morphological Notes | Adjective used substantively; accusative neuter plural (Gr,NS,,,,ANP,). Functions as a direct object; neuter plural form κενά from lemma κενός. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective κενός fundamentally means "empty" or "void," whether literally or figuratively. Here it appears in the accusative neuter plural (ANP) and functions substantively, referring to "empty things" as direct objects. The rendering preserves the core idea of emptiness while reflecting the neuter plural form indicated by the morphology. |
