of the battle-blade
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,GFS — noun, genitive case, feminine gender, singular number; denotes possession, source, or association with a single feminine noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "of the battle-blade" reflects the genitive singular feminine form, indicating possession or association ("of"). "Battle-blade" preserves the lexical connection to μάχη (battle), highlighting the weapon’s function as an instrument of combat rather than using the more generalized term "sword." |
