leather-skin bags

Morphological NotesNoun, nominative masculine plural (Gr,N,,,,,NMP,). The form ἀσκοί functions as a subject or predicate nominative in the clause and denotes more than one object.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering "leather-skin bags" preserves the material sense of ἀσκός as a container made from animal hide rather than a modern glass bottle. The form is nominative masculine plural (NMP), reflected in the plural English noun, suitable for use as the grammatical subject in context.
