allotted portion
| Morphological Notes | Noun, nominative masculine singular (Gr,N,,,,,NMS): subject-form, singular, masculine. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Allotted portion" preserves the root idea of something assigned by lot or apportionment while remaining broad enough to include inheritance, role, or share. The nominative masculine singular form is reflected as a singular substantive concept. |
