to the generations
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine, dative plural (Gr,N,,,,,DFP); indicates multiple generations functioning in the dative role. |
| Rendering Rationale | The dative plural form denotes multiple generational groups or lineage-steps, typically marking indirect object or sphere ("to/for/among"). "Generations" preserves the root sense of those born from a common origin, and "to" reflects the dative case. |
