bright white ones
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, neuter, nominative plural (also formally accusative plural); from λευκός, functioning substantivally as a predicate adjective. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective λευκά is neuter nominative plural, rendered substantivally as "bright white ones" to preserve both the plural form and the root sense of shining whiteness. "Bright" reflects the radiance inherent in the λευκ- root beyond mere color. |
