the gateway-portals
| Morphological Notes | Noun, nominative masculine plural (Gr,N,,,,,NMP,). The form πυλῶνες is the nominative plural of πυλών, used for multiple gateway or entrance structures serving as the subject of a sentence. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "gateway-portals" preserves the root sense of πυλών as a substantial gate-structure derived from πύλη (gate), indicating not merely doors but architectural entrances. The plural form reflects the nominative masculine plural morphology (NMP), indicating multiple gateway structures functioning as subjects in their clauses. |
