impossible thing
| Morphological Notes | Predicate adjective; neuter, nominative, singular (Gr,NS,,,,ANS), functioning substantivally. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective literally means 'not able' or 'not possible' (alpha privative + δυνατός). Rendered as 'impossible thing' to reflect the neuter nominative singular form, which often functions substantivally to denote something inherently not able or not feasible. |
