SIBI-P1 Translation G3778-15

of this one

Morphological NotesDemonstrative pronoun; genitive singular masculine or neuter form of οὗτος.
Rendering RationaleThe genitive singular form indicates possession or relation, so "of this one" preserves both the demonstrative force (near/present referent) and the genitive case. "This one" maintains the emphasis on what is immediately indicated.
