of a woman
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive singular, feminine (Gr,N,,,,,GFS) |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive singular feminine form denotes possession, relation, or source, thus "of a woman" preserves the core sense of an adult female without assuming marital status. The rendering reflects the genitive case while keeping the root meaning intact. |
