to women
| Morphological Notes | Noun; dative feminine plural (Gr,N,,,,,DFP); from γυνή, meaning woman or adult female. |
| Rendering Rationale | The dative plural form γυναιξὶ denotes "women" as indirect objects or recipients. "To women" preserves the feminine plural and reflects the basic dative function without importing marital context. |
