| Rendering Rationale | ἕκτη is the nominative feminine singular form of the ordinal adjective ἕκτος, meaning "sixth" in sequence. The rendering "the sixth (feminine singular)" preserves its ordinal force and reflects its grammatical form, which agrees with a feminine noun (such as ὥρα, "hour," or ἡμέρα, "day") and functions in the nominative case. |
