SIBI-P1 Translation G792-02
a star
| Morphological Notes | Noun; accusative singular masculine (Gr,N,,,,,AMS); from lemma ἀστήρ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun ἀστήρ denotes a luminous celestial body; the accusative singular form ἀστέρα marks it as a single star functioning as a direct object. English does not mark accusative case distinctly, so "a star" preserves the singular sense and core meaning. |
