SIBI-P1 Translation G4587-03
of dignity
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine, singular, genitive (Gr,N,,,,,GFS) — abstract quality noun in the genitive case indicating possession or association. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive singular form denotes the quality or state belonging to something, so "of dignity" preserves both the abstract noun sense and the genitive case. "Dignity" reflects the root idea of being worthy of respect and marked by moral seriousness. |
