intoxications
| Morphological Notes | Noun; nominative case; feminine gender; plural number (Gr,N,,,,,NFP). Functions as a subject or predicate nominative in the clause. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun μέθαι is nominative feminine plural, so the rendering preserves its plural form as "intoxications," reflecting multiple instances or expressions of drunkenness. This maintains the core sense of a state produced by intoxicants while accurately representing the grammatical number and case of the Greek form. |
