SIBI-P1 G3788-06
of the seeing-eye
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive masculine singular (Gr,N,,,,,GMS,); indicates possession, source, description, or association with a single masculine noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive masculine singular form ὀφθαλμοῦ is rendered "of the seeing-eye" to preserve the genitive case ("of"), singular number, and the concrete sense of the physical eye. The addition of "seeing-" reflects the word’s connection to sight and perception, preserving its root association with seeing rather than reducing it to a flat anatomical term. |
