a small bread morsel
| Morphological Notes | Noun; accusative, neuter, singular (Gr,N,,,,,ANSD). |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the diminutive sense of something rubbed or broken off (ψωμ-), emphasizing a small fragment of bread. As accusative neuter singular, it denotes one specific morsel as a direct object, which English expresses without morphological change beyond singular form. |
