seed
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative, neuter, singular (Gr,N,,,,,ANS) |
| Rendering Rationale | "Seed" preserves the primary root sense of that which is sown, reflecting the noun formed from σπείρω (to sow). The accusative neuter singular denotes a single unit of seed as a direct object, which English represents simply as "seed." |
