of the olive-trees (feminine plural, genitive)
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,GFP = noun, genitive, feminine, plural ("Ἐλαιῶν," of olive-trees); Gr,N,,,,,ANS = noun, accusative, neuter, singular ("ἔλαιον," olive-oil as direct object). |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive feminine plural form (GFP) Ἐλαιῶν is rendered "of the olive-trees," preserving the feminine plural noun and its genitive case, which often denotes possession or association (e.g., "Mount of Olives"). The related neuter accusative singular form ἔλαιον refers to "olive-oil" as a direct object, reflecting the distinct but related lexeme derived from the same root. |
