SIBI-P1 Translation G3586-04
of wood
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive singular, neuter (Gr,N,,,,,GNS) |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive singular form denotes possession, source, or material, so "of wood" preserves the root sense of ξυλ- as wood or timber in substance. This keeps the focus on material rather than a specific contextual object. |
