principal meal
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative, neuter, singular (Gr,N,,,,,ANS) — a single principal meal functioning as direct object. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Principal meal" reflects the core sense of δεῖπνον as the chief daily meal, often in the late afternoon or evening, without narrowing it to a specific cultural form like "supper." The accusative singular form denotes a single meal functioning as a direct object, which English expresses without changing the noun form. |
