human being
| Morphological Notes | Noun, nominative, masculine, singular (Gr,N,,,,,NMS): one human being as grammatical subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Human being" preserves the root sense of a member of the human species without implying gender. The nominative masculine singular form denotes one individual as subject, so the singular English form reflects this morphology. |
