motherless
| Morphological Notes | Substantive adjective; nominative masculine singular (Gr,NS,,,,NMS); functioning as a descriptive title or designation. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective combines the privative prefix ἀ- (“without”) with μήτηρ (“mother”), yielding the core sense “without mother.” As a nominative masculine singular substantive adjective, “motherless” preserves both the root meaning and its singular masculine form. |
