SIBI-P1 G3775-02
ears (hearing-organs; neuter plural nominative/accusative)
| Morphological Notes | Noun; neuter; plural; appearing as nominative neuter plural (NNP) and accusative neuter plural (ANP). The form ὦτα serves for both subject and direct object in the plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the concrete root sense of οὖς as the physical organ of hearing while signaling its broader association with receptivity. The morphology indicates neuter plural in either nominative or accusative case, reflected by the simple plural “ears,” which in Greek shares identical form for both cases. |
