sheep
| Morphological Notes | Noun; neuter; nominative plural (form identical to accusative plural in Greek). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun denotes domesticated flock animals, primarily sheep, derived from a root meaning "to go forward." The neuter nominative plural form indicates multiple animals, which English expresses with the unchanged plural "sheep." |
