| Morphological Notes | Substantive comparative adjective; neuter, singular, accusative; comparative form of πολύς indicating greater quantity or degree. |
| Rendering Rationale | As the neuter singular accusative of the comparative adjective, it functions substantivally to denote a greater amount or degree. "More" preserves the comparative force inherent in the root πλεί- without adding contextual nuance. |
