SIBI-P1 G293-01
a thrown-around net
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative, neuter, singular (Gr,N,,,,,ANS,). Functions as a direct object in its occurrence. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term derives from ἀμφί (around) and βάλλω (to throw), denoting a net cast around fish. Rendering it as "a thrown-around net" preserves the verbal idea of throwing and the encircling sense inherent in the compound, while reflecting the accusative singular form as a single direct object. |
