dwelling-place
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative masculine singular (Gr,N,,,,,AMS): denotes one dwelling/household functioning as the object of a verb or preposition. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Dwelling-place" reflects the core root meaning of οἰκ- (to inhabit, dwell) without narrowing it to only a physical house or family. The accusative singular form indicates a single dwelling entity as the direct object. |
