a sung song
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,AFS); direct-object form, one feminine singular entity. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the root ᾀδ- (“to sing”), preserving the sense of a composition meant to be sung. The accusative feminine singular form is conveyed with the indefinite singular “a,” marking it as a single sung composition. |
