our
| Morphological Notes | Possessive adjective, first person plural; accusative masculine singular (Gr,EP,,,1AMS,), modifying an accusative masculine singular noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective ἡμέτερος denotes possession or association with the first person plural. The accusative masculine singular form modifies a masculine singular noun in the accusative case, so "our" faithfully conveys collective possession while preserving its adjectival function. |
