of a pronounced curse
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive, feminine, singular (Gr,N,,,,,GFS); denotes possession, source, or relation. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive feminine singular form denotes possession or relation, rendered in English with "of." "Pronounced curse" reflects the intensified sense of κατάρα as a formal imprecation or invocation of doom, preserving the root meaning. |
