hearts
| Morphological Notes | Noun; nominative case; feminine gender; plural number (Gr,N,,,,,NFP). |
| Rendering Rationale | The nominative feminine plural form denotes multiple hearts. "Hearts" preserves the root meaning of the physical organ and, by extension, the inner seat of emotion, thought, and intention, without narrowing the semantic scope. |
