SIBI-P1 G4143-01
sailing-vessels (neuter plural)
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,NNP/ANP — noun, neuter, plural; either nominative plural (subject) or accusative plural (direct object). The surface form is identical in both cases. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun πλοῖον derives from πλέω (“to sail”), so “sailing-vessels” preserves the verbal root sense of something characterized by sailing. The form πλοῖα is nominative or accusative neuter plural (NNP/ANP), which is reflected in the explicit plural rendering. |
