nourishments
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative feminine plural (Gr,N,,,,,AFP); direct object form; feminine gender; plural number. |
| Rendering Rationale | The accusative feminine plural form indicates multiple instances or portions of that which nourishes. “Nourishments” preserves the root sense of sustaining substance rather than narrowing to a specific type of food. |
