Morphological NotesNoun; accusative plural feminine (Gr,N,,,,,AFP) — direct object form, feminine gender, plural number.
Rendering RationaleThe accusative plural feminine form γυναῖκας denotes multiple adult female persons. Without contextual markers of marriage, the broad root meaning 'women' best preserves the lexical sense while reflecting the plural morphology.
