of whom / of which (feminine singular)
| Root | ὅς (hos) |
| Core Meanings | who, which, that, what (relative reference) |
| Semantic Range | introduces relative clauses; whose, of whom, of which; sometimes expressing possession, source, description, or close association depending on context |
| Conceptual Significance | As a relative pronoun, ὅς structurally binds clauses together, clarifying identity and relationship. In biblical discourse it often links theological affirmations to specific persons or covenantal realities, preserving continuity and precision in revelation. |
| Morphological Notes | Relative pronoun (RR); genitive case, feminine gender, singular number (GFS). It agrees with a feminine singular antecedent and functions to link a subordinate clause to that noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form ἧς is the genitive feminine singular of the relative pronoun ὅς. Rendering it as "of whom / of which" preserves the genitive sense (possession, source, or relation) while maintaining its feminine singular agreement with its antecedent. |
