fleshes
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative case, feminine gender, plural number (Gr,N,,,,,AFP). Functions typically as a direct object or object of certain prepositions; plural form of σάρξ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "fleshes" preserves the concrete root sense of σάρξ as physical flesh while maintaining the plural number indicated by the accusative feminine plural form (AFP). Using the plural form reflects the morphology directly and allows for contexts where multiple bodies or expressions of human fleshly existence are in view. |
