of sensual pleasures
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive, feminine, plural (Gr,N,,,,,GFP) — denotes possession, source, or association in plural form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive plural form requires "of" plus a plural noun. "Sensual pleasures" preserves the root sense of physical or bodily gratification inherent in ἡδονή, reflecting its strong association with sensual enjoyment. |
