bitter thing
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, accusative, neuter, singular; functioning substantivally (used as a noun). |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the primary sensory sense of πικρός as "bitter" while treating the neuter accusative singular adjective substantivally, thus "bitter thing." This preserves both the root meaning and its nominal function in this form. |
