lamp
| Morphological Notes | Noun (substantive), accusative singular, masculine (per provided parse). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root λαμπ- (“to shine, to emit light”) and denotes an instrument that produces light. As an accusative singular form, it refers to one lamp as the direct object; English reflects this simply as singular “lamp.” |
