these ones
| Morphological Notes | Demonstrative pronoun; nominative masculine plural (Gr,ED/RD,,,,NMP); functions as subject or substantive referring to persons or things near in discourse. |
| Rendering Rationale | The nominative masculine plural form οὗτοι points to persons or things near in attention or discourse. "These ones" preserves both the demonstrative force of nearness and the plural masculine nominative form. |
