a portion
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative, neuter, singular (Gr,N,,,,,ANS) — functioning as a singular direct object or object of certain prepositions. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Portion" directly reflects the root idea of something divided or allotted from a larger whole. The accusative neuter singular form is represented naturally in English as an indefinite singular object, "a portion." |
