| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "the calm-tranquility" preserves the core sense of γαλήνη as a state of settled stillness, especially of wind or sea. The nominative feminine singular form is reflected by treating it as a singular substantive, suitable for subject position, maintaining its abstract, state-oriented force. |
