a plundering-brigand (accusative masculine singular)
| Morphological Notes | Noun; accusative case; masculine; singular (Gr,N,,,,,AMS,). Functions as a direct object in the clause. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term λῃστής derives from a root meaning "to plunder," denoting not merely a petty thief but a violent robber or bandit. The rendering "plundering-brigand" preserves the root sense of forceful seizure, and the notation reflects its accusative masculine singular form, indicating it functions as a direct object referring to one male individual. |
