of the lawless
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, genitive masculine plural (Gr,AA/NS,,,,GMP); functioning substantively to denote people characterized as lawless. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term combines the alpha privative with νόμος (law), meaning "without law" or "lawless." The genitive masculine plural form is preserved by rendering it as "of the lawless," reflecting both case and number. |
