a dwelling
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative, feminine, singular (Gr,N,,,,,AFS): denotes one dwelling functioning as a direct object. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "a dwelling" preserves the primary root sense of οἰκ- as a place of habitation. The accusative feminine singular form indicates a single dwelling as the direct object, which English conveys by the singular noun with the article. |
