of burial preparation
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive singular masculine (Gr,N,,,,,GMS); denotes possession, source, or relation. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive singular masculine form denotes possession or relation, hence "of burial preparation." The rendering preserves the core sense of ritual preparation of a body for burial rather than the broader act of burial itself. |
