SIBI-P1 G692-04
workless (neuter singular, accusative)
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, accusative neuter singular (Gr,AA,,,,ANS,). It agrees with a neuter singular noun in the accusative case or may function substantivally as "the workless thing." |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective ἀργός derives from ἀ- (negative prefix) and ἔργον (work), literally meaning "without work" or "workless." Rendering it as "workless" preserves the root connection to ἔργον while accurately reflecting its accusative neuter singular form, indicating it modifies or functions as a neuter singular direct object. |
