| Morphological Notes | Noun, nominative, masculine, plural (Gr,N,,,,,NMP) — functioning as plural subjects or predicate nominatives. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun κριτής denotes one who judges or decides, derived from κρίνω (to judge, decide, distinguish). The nominative masculine plural form is rendered "judges," preserving both the agentive force of the root and the plural subject form. |
