| Rendering Rationale | ἑβδόμην is the accusative feminine singular form of the ordinal adjective ἕβδομος, derived from ἑπτά (seven). Rendering it as "the seventh (feminine one, as direct object)" preserves both its ordinal sense and its grammatical function as an accusative feminine singular modifying or standing for a feminine noun. |
