| Morphological Notes | Adjective, nominative masculine plural (Gr,NP,,,,NMP); functioning substantivally as a predicate adjective. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective ἀσύνετος combines the privative alpha ("without") with a root meaning "to understand or perceive," yielding "without understanding." The nominative masculine plural form is reflected by rendering it as "ones," preserving both plurality and adjectival force. |
