SIBI-P1 G3042-04

a food-lack

Morphological NotesGr,N,,,,,NMS / NFS — noun, nominative singular; masculine in most attestations, with one feminine nominative singular form. Functions as the subject or predicate nominative in a clause.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering "food-lack" preserves the root sense of deprivation (likely connected to the idea of lacking or being left without, from λείπω). The nominative singular form is reflected by the simple singular countable expression "a food-lack," matching the noun’s nominative singular (masculine in most occurrences, once feminine) morphology.
