of grain
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine, singular, genitive (Gr,N,,,,,GMS) — denotes possession, source, or relation. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive singular form indicates possession or source, rendered in English with "of." "Grain" preserves the core sense of edible cereal, especially wheat, without over-specifying beyond the root meaning. |
