of the extremities
| Morphological Notes | Noun, neuter, genitive plural (Gr,N,,,,,GNP) — indicating multiple extremities in a genitive relationship. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive plural form denotes possession or relation, indicating multiple outermost points or edges. "Of the extremities" preserves both the root sense of furthest or highest points and the genitive plural morphology. |

tip
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | 'ἄκρον' denotes the physical extremity. In this context, it refers to the 'tip' of the staff (a standard rendering for this narrative). 'of the extremities' is awkward in context. |
