Asa
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine, singular, accusative (AMSI); proper name in direct object form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term is a proper masculine singular name referring to the historical ruler Asa. As an accusative singular form, it functions as a direct object in Greek, but English does not mark case on proper names, so the form remains "Asa." |
