the birth-kind
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,NNS = noun, nominative, neuter, singular; Gr,N,,,,,ANS = noun, accusative, neuter, singular. γένος is a third-declension neuter noun; nominative and accusative singular share the same form. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Birth-kind" preserves the connection to γίνομαι (to become, to come into being), highlighting what has come into being from a common source—offspring, stock, or lineage. The form here is nominative neuter singular (with one occurrence as accusative neuter singular, identical in form), so the singular collective sense "the birth-kind" reflects its grammatical number and case as a single category or lineage. |
