days (feminine accusative plural) / of a day (feminine genitive singular)
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine. Either accusative plural (AFP: direct object, feminine plural) or genitive singular (GFS: feminine singular showing possession/source). Derived from ἡμέρα. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form ἡμέρας most commonly parses as accusative feminine plural, meaning “days” as direct objects within a clause. In some contexts it is genitive feminine singular, meaning “of a day,” expressing possession, source, or relation. The rendering preserves the core sense of a bounded time-period while explicitly reflecting the grammatical case and number distinctions present in the morphology. |
