great things
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, neuter, accusative plural (attributive form); from μέγας; may function substantivally as "great things." |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective μέγας denotes largeness or greatness in size, degree, or importance. In the neuter accusative plural form (μεγάλα), it naturally functions substantivally to denote "great things," preserving both the root sense of magnitude and the plural neuter morphology. |
