Morphological NotesNoun; accusative case; neuter gender; singular number (Gr,N,,,,,ANS,). Functions as a direct object or object of certain prepositions in context.
Rendering RationaleThe noun ὄρος likely derives from a root meaning "to rise" or "to rear up," referring to something elevated above the plain. Rendering it as "a rising-height" preserves this vertical, lifted sense. The accusative neuter singular form (ANS) is reflected by the singular countable phrase functioning as a direct object.
