| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative singular, neuter (Gr,N,,,,,ANS); direct object form referring to one vessel. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Sailing vessel" preserves the root idea from πλέω (to sail) and reflects the noun formed with -ιον as a craft associated with sailing. The accusative singular neuter denotes a single vessel as the object of an action. |
