tender
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, nominative masculine singular (predicate form); describes a masculine singular noun in the nominative case. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Tender" preserves the core sense of physical softness or delicacy inherent in ἀπαλός, while allowing extension to gentleness or immaturity. As a nominative masculine singular adjective, it functions descriptively of a masculine singular subject without altering its qualitative force. |
