a gift
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative singular, neuter (Gr,N,,,,,ANS): direct-object form; one given item. |
| Rendering Rationale | "A gift" directly reflects the core sense of δῶρον as "that which is given," preserving its root connection to giving (διδωμι). The accusative singular neuter form is naturally rendered in English as "a gift" without change in form. |
