SIBI-P1 G692-05
work-less men
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, accusative masculine plural (Gr,NS,,,,AMP,). It modifies or substantively describes masculine plural referents functioning as the direct object of a verb. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective ἀργός is formed from the negative prefix ἀ- and ἔργον ("work"), literally meaning "without work." Rendering it as "work-less men" preserves the root connection to ἔργον while reflecting the accusative masculine plural form (AMP), indicating masculine plural persons as the object in context. |
