| Morphological Notes | Demonstrative determiner/pronoun; genitive feminine singular (Gr,ED,,,,GFS), from οὗτος; denotes a single feminine referent in the genitive case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form ταύτης is genitive feminine singular, indicating possession or association: "of this" (feminine referent). The rendering preserves the demonstrative force of nearness or immediacy inherent in οὗτος while reflecting the genitive case. |
