SIBI-P1 Translation G2776-04
head
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,AFS): direct object form; feminine gender; singular number. |
| Rendering Rationale | The accusative feminine singular form denotes a single 'head' as the direct object. "Head" preserves the primary, concrete sense of the uppermost part of the body while allowing for its extended meanings (top, chief) inherent in the root. |
