| Morphological Notes | Adjective, accusative feminine singular (Gr,AA/NS/AR,,,,AFS); attributive form that may function substantivally; feminine aligns with implied "hand." |
| Rendering Rationale | The accusative feminine singular form δεξιὰν derives from δεξιός and commonly functions substantivally to denote the right hand. "Right hand" preserves the core root meaning and reflects the feminine singular form without adding contextual detail. |
