SIBI-P1 G938-02
of a queenly ruler-woman
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,GFS — Noun, genitive, feminine, singular. The genitive case typically expresses possession, source, or association; feminine singular agrees with a single female royal figure. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term βασίλισσα denotes a woman who reigns or holds royal status, derived from the royal root related to βασιλεύω (to rule as king). Rendering it as "queenly ruler-woman" preserves the connection to kingship and rule, while the genitive singular feminine form (GFS) is reflected by the phrase "of a," indicating possession or association. |
