women
| Morphological Notes | Noun, nominative feminine plural (Gr,N,,,,,NFP); subject form referring to multiple adult females. |
| Rendering Rationale | The nominative feminine plural form denotes multiple adult female persons. Without contextual markers of marriage, the broad root sense 'women' best preserves the semantic range while reflecting plural number and nominative case. |
