a drinking-cup
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative case, neuter gender, singular number (Gr,N,,,,,ANS,). The accusative marks it as the direct object or goal of an action; neuter singular indicates one inanimate item. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "a drinking-cup" preserves the concrete sense of a vessel used for drinking, reflecting its derivation from πίνω (to drink). The singular form reflects the accusative singular neuter morphology, functioning typically as a direct object in its clause. |
