coastal
| Morphological Notes | Adjective used substantively; accusative feminine singular form (Gr,NS,,,,AFS), describing a feminine singular entity in the accusative case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "coastal" directly reflects the compound meaning of παρά (beside) and θάλασσα (sea), expressing location adjacent to the sea. As an accusative feminine singular substantive adjective, it denotes a feminine entity characterized as situated along the sea. |
