burial preparation
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine, singular, accusative (Gr,N,,,,,AMS); direct-object form of a verbal noun denoting the act/process of preparing a body for burial. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun ἐνταφιασμός denotes the act or process of preparing a body for burial, not merely the burial itself. "Burial preparation" preserves the root idea of preparatory rites (from ἐν + τάφος) and reflects the singular accusative form as a specific instance of such preparation. |
