SIBI-P1 G1485-06
the customary practice
| Morphological Notes | Noun; neuter; singular; appearing in nominative singular (NNS) and accusative singular (ANS) forms. As a neuter singular, the nominative and accusative forms are identical in spelling and function according to syntactic role (subject or direct object). |
| Rendering Rationale | ἔθος denotes a practice established by habit or accepted usage. Rendering it as "the customary practice" preserves the root idea of something formed and fixed by habit, while the neuter singular form (nominative or accusative) is reflected by the singular, concrete expression "the practice," suitable for either subject or direct object use in context. |
