written documents
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative plural, neuter (Gr,N,,,,,ANP); direct object form referring to multiple written items. |
| Rendering Rationale | The plural accusative neuter form denotes multiple results of writing—things written. "Written documents" preserves the root sense of that-which-is-written while reflecting the plural accusative form. |
