Akylas
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine, singular, accusative (Gr,N,,,,,AMS) — proper name in direct object form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term is a masculine proper noun in the accusative singular, referring to the individual named Akylas. English proper names do not change form for case, so the name itself faithfully represents the Greek while the accusative function is inherent in its grammatical form. |
