SIBI-P1 Translation G4071-01
winged creatures
| Morphological Notes | Noun, neuter, plural; attested in nominative or accusative plural forms (NNP/ANP). |
| Rendering Rationale | "Winged creatures" preserves the adjectival root sense of "that which flies" (from πέτομαι) rather than limiting the term to a specific species. The neuter plural form is reflected by the plural collective rendering. |
