SIBI-P1 G5532-03
a need
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,AFS = noun, accusative case, feminine gender, singular number. As an accusative singular, it most often serves as the direct object of a verb or appears in prepositional constructions. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun χρεία carries the core sense of something required for use—hence a need or necessity arising from practical circumstance. The form χρείαν is accusative feminine singular, typically functioning as a direct object, so the rendering "a need" preserves its singular, concrete sense within a clause. |
