| Morphological Notes | Noun, vocative, feminine, singular, indeclinable (Gr,N,,,,,VFSI). Used in direct address despite being a proper place name. |
| Rendering Rationale | The lemma Χοραζίν is a proper noun referring to a specific Galilean town. The morphology (vocative feminine singular indeclinable) indicates direct address, so the rendering "O Chorazin" preserves the vocative force while retaining the proper name unchanged, reflecting its indeclinable form. |
