Morphological NotesNoun, accusative case, neuter gender, plural number (Gr,N,,,,,ANP).
Rendering RationaleThe noun βάρος denotes weight or heaviness, often figuratively a burden or encumbrance. The accusative neuter plural form βάρη indicates multiple objects described as weighty, thus "heavy burdens" preserves both the root sense of heaviness and the plural morphology.
