Morphological NotesNoun, accusative, masculine, singular (Gr,N,,,,,AMSI).
Rendering RationaleThe form Ἐφραὶμ is the accusative singular of the proper noun Ἐφραίμ, denoting the personal name or associated tribal/territorial entity. English proper nouns do not change form by case, so "Ephraim" preserves both the root identity and morphological singular reference.
