of word
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine, singular, genitive (Gr,N,,,,,GMS) — denotes "of word/account/reason." |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive singular form indicates possession, source, or relation, rendered concisely as "of word." This preserves the core sense of λόγος as spoken word, account, or reason while reflecting the masculine singular genitive morphology. |
