of these
| Morphological Notes | Demonstrative pronoun (οὗτος), genitive plural; gender may be masculine, feminine, or neuter depending on referent; indicates possession, source, or association. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive plural form τούτων denotes possession, source, or relation and refers to persons or things that are near or present. "Of these" preserves both the demonstrative force (nearness) and the genitive plural morphology. |
