οὓς
hós
A relative pronoun introducing clauses that refer back to a previously mentioned noun or idea ('who,' 'which,' 'that'); used to relate additional information, qualify, or give a description about the antecedent. The core function is to establish a relationship between the antecedent and the relative clause. Sometimes with demonstrative force in certain poetic or elevated registers. In rare constructions, may also be used in indirect questions, or as a connector where a relative sense is implied.

whom
| Morphological Notes | Relative pronoun; accusative case; masculine gender; plural number (Gr,RR,,,,AMP). |
| Rendering Rationale | As an accusative masculine plural relative pronoun, οὓς functions as the object within a relative clause, best rendered in English as "whom." This preserves both its relational function and its objective case force. |
