of the loin
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive, feminine, singular (Gr,N,,,,,GFS,). Third-declension feminine noun; the genitive singular form ὀσφύος expresses possession, source, or relational origin. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form ὀσφύος is genitive feminine singular, which is properly rendered with the possessive or source sense "of the loin." This preserves the concrete anatomical root meaning (loin/hip) while accurately reflecting the singular and genitive case indicated in the morphology. |
