| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,AFS); proper place name functioning as a direct object or object of motion. |
| Rendering Rationale | This is the accusative singular form of the proper noun Γάζα, referring to the fortified city of Gaza. English proper nouns do not change form for case, so the accusative is reflected syntactically rather than morphologically in translation. |
