SIBI-P1 G5561-04
of the land-expanse (feminine singular); or lands-expanses (feminine plural, accusative)
| Morphological Notes | Noun; either genitive feminine singular (GFS) or accusative feminine plural (AFP). The genitive denotes possession, source, or association ("of the land-expanse"), while the accusative plural functions as a direct object ("lands-expanses"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "land-expanse" preserves the root idea of an open or spread-out space of territory. The genitive feminine singular form is reflected by "of the land-expanse," showing possession or source, while the alternate accusative feminine plural sense is captured by "lands-expanses" as a direct object form. |
