of stones
| Morphological Notes | Noun; genitive case; masculine; plural — indicating belonging to or composed of multiple stones. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive masculine plural form denotes possession, source, or association, thus "of stones." The rendering preserves the concrete root sense of physical stone material without narrowing to a specific subtype. |
