reapers
| Morphological Notes | Noun, nominative masculine plural (Gr,N,,,,,NMP); agent noun formed with -τής indicating one who performs the action of harvesting. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from θερίζω (to reap, to harvest) with the agentive suffix -τής, denoting one who performs the action. The nominative masculine plural form θερισταὶ is accurately rendered as "reapers," preserving both the agentive sense and plural morphology. |
