law-establishment
| Morphological Notes | Noun, nominative, feminine, singular (Gr,N,,,,,NFS); functions as a singular abstract subject or predicate noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "law-establishment" reflects the root idea of placing or instituting law (νόμος + τίθημι) and preserves the abstract noun sense of the act or process of legislating. As a nominative feminine singular noun, it is expressed as a singular abstract concept. |
