ἐκείνης
ekeînos
A demonstrative pronoun primarily meaning 'that one,' used to designate someone or something distant in place, time, or thought from the speaker or the discourse context. In various contexts, it denotes that person or thing, often as opposed to one previously mentioned or present (as with οὗτος, 'this'). In discourse, ἐκεῖνος can function anaphorically (referring to someone previously mentioned), deictically (pointing out someone or something further off), or contrastively (distinguishing that one from another).

SIBI-P1 Translation G1565-07
of that one
| Morphological Notes | Demonstrative pronoun; genitive feminine singular (Gr,ED,,,,GFS); indicates possession or relation belonging to a distant feminine referent. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive feminine singular form denotes possession or association and preserves the distant demonstrative sense derived from ἐκεῖ (“there”). “Of that one” maintains both the genitive case and the contrastive, far-reference force inherent in the root. |
