| Morphological Notes | Preposition governing the accusative case; indicates direction, orientation, or relation toward an object. |
| Rendering Rationale | πρός with the accusative primarily marks movement or orientation toward a destination or object. Rendering it as "toward" preserves its core directional force rooted in πρό (before, in front of) and reflects its accusative usage indicating goal or direction. |
