human-killer
| Morphological Notes | Noun, nominative masculine singular (Gr,N,,,,,NMS); functions as a subject or predicate nominative referring to one male person characterized as a killer of humans. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Human-killer" directly reflects the compound root ἄνθρωπος (human) + -κτόνος (killer), preserving the explicit sense of one who intentionally kills a person. The nominative masculine singular form denotes a single male agent identified as such. |
