SIBI-P1 Translation G5160-04
of nourishment
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,GFS); indicates possession, source, or relation. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive singular feminine form denotes possession or source, thus "of nourishment." "Nourishment" preserves the root sense derived from τρέφω (to nourish, sustain) rather than the narrower term "food." |
