the chaff

Morphological NotesNoun; accusative singular neuter (Gr,N,,,,,ANS,). Functions as a direct object; neuter singular form identical in nominative and accusative.
Rendering Rationaleἄχυρον denotes the light, shed-off husk separated from grain during threshing. Rendering it as "the chaff" preserves its concrete agricultural sense, and the definite singular form reflects the accusative singular neuter morphology used as a direct object in context.
