each one
| Morphological Notes | Indefinite pronoun; nominative masculine singular (Gr,RI/EQ,,,,NMS); distributive, functioning substantivally or adjectivally to denote each individual. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Each one" preserves the distributive force of ἕκαστος, emphasizing every individual member within a group. The nominative masculine singular form reflects a single, individualized subject considered separately from others. |
