faces
| Morphological Notes | Common noun, plural (plural of extension), absolute state; grammatically plural though frequently singular in meaning. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root meaning "to turn" and denotes what is turned outward and visible. Though often treated as singular in sense, the morphology here is plural absolute, so the rendering preserves the plural form as "faces." |
