hand
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine, nominative, singular (Gr,N,,,,,NFS): subject-form, feminine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The nominative feminine singular form denotes the anatomical hand as the core sense, from which ideas of agency or power extend. Rendering it as "hand" preserves the primary root meaning without importing contextual nuance. |
