SIBI-P1 Translation G4204-01
prostitute women
| Morphological Notes | Noun, nominative feminine plural (NFP); subject form referring to multiple women. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the feminine nominative plural form, denoting women characterized by selling themselves sexually. "Prostitute" preserves the root sense of one who is for sale (from πορν-), and the plural form matches the morphology. |
