of the region
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine, singular, genitive (Gr,N,,,,,GFS) — denotes relational or possessive sense, "of the region/land." |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive feminine singular form indicates possession or relation, rendered with "of." "Region" preserves the core idea of an enclosed expanse of land or territory without narrowing it to a political "country." |
