two-mouthed
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, accusative feminine singular (Gr,AA/AR,,,,AFS); attributive form agreeing with a feminine singular noun in the accusative case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the literal root sense from δίς (twofold) and στόμα (mouth/edge), capturing the image of something having two mouths or cutting edges. As an accusative feminine singular adjective, it describes a feminine singular noun in the accusative case, though English does not mark this distinction overtly. |
