σκεύη
skeûos
An object made or used for a specific purpose; generally, a vessel, container, or implement. The term can refer to anything from a household utensil (jar, dish, or pot), an article of personal or communal equipment, armaments (such as weapons or armor), or a general item of apparatus. In figurative contexts, it may be used of people as 'instruments' or 'agents' (e.g., a person serving as a means for a particular function), or idiomatically of the body as the 'vessel' or 'container' of the self. In some contexts, may refer specifically to a spouse (especially a wife) as an aid or partner.

| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative neuter plural (Gr,N,,,,,ANP): direct-object form; neuter gender; plural number. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Implements" reflects the broad semantic field of σκεῦος as objects made for practical use, preserving its functional sense rather than narrowing it to containers alone. The plural form conveys the accusative neuter plural morphology (multiple items). |
