SIBI-P1 Translation G2060-01
Hermes
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative masculine singular (Gr,N,,,,,AMS); proper name in object form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term is a proper masculine name referring either to the Greek deity or to a man bearing that name. As an accusative singular form, it functions as a direct object, but English proper names do not change form for case, so "Hermes" preserves both root identity and morphology. |
