of a hand
| Morphological Notes | Noun; feminine; singular; genitive case (Gr,N,,,,,GFS) |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive singular form denotes possession, source, or association, rendered concisely as "of a hand" to preserve both the anatomical and extended agency sense inherent in χείρ. The singular feminine genitive ending (-ος) is reflected by the singular possessive construction. |
