| Morphological Notes | Noun, neuter, accusative plural (Gr,N,,,,,ANP) — multiple begotten ones in object position. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Offspring" preserves the root idea of that which is begotten or produced (from τίκτω) and reflects the neuter plural accusative form as multiple begotten ones functioning as objects. |
