a designated load
| Morphological Notes | Noun, neuter, singular; nominative or accusative form (NNS/ANS), functioning as a singular substantive. |
| Rendering Rationale | The diminutive form of φόρτος denotes a specific or assigned portion of a load rather than an undefined mass. The singular neuter noun is rendered as "a designated load," preserving its concrete sense while allowing for metaphorical extension to responsibility. |
