a straight way
| Morphological Notes | Substantive adjective; accusative feminine singular (AFS). Functions as a feminine singular object, likely with an implied noun such as 'way' or 'path.' |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective εὐθύς fundamentally denotes straightness or directness. In the accusative feminine singular substantive form, it most naturally refers to a straight path or way as a direct object, preserving both its adjectival force and feminine singular morphology. |
