a loan
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative, neuter, singular (Gr,N,,,,,ANS) — direct object form of a neuter singular noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun denotes the thing given temporarily with obligation of return, not the act of lending. The accusative singular form is reflected by the singular, indefinite rendering “a loan,” preserving its concrete sense as an object of borrowing. |
