leather-skin bags
| Morphological Notes | Noun, 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 Rationale | The 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. |
