SIBI-P1 Translation G1085-02
to a lineage
| Morphological Notes | Noun; dative singular; neuter; from γένος (γέν- root), indicating indirect object, reference, or sphere. |
| Rendering Rationale | The dative singular form denotes relation or reference, expressed in English with "to." "Lineage" preserves the root sense of birth-derived origin and shared descent inherent in γένος. |
