works
| Morphological Notes | Noun; accusative plural; neuter (Gr,N,,,,,ANP) — functioning as a direct object or object of a preposition in this form. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Works" directly reflects the root idea of tangible actions or accomplished deeds and preserves the neuter plural form of the accusative. The English plural captures the concrete, countable sense inherent in the Greek plural. |
