of woods
| Morphological Notes | Noun, neuter, genitive plural (Gr,N,,,,,GNP): "of woods" or "of timbers." |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive plural form denotes possession or source and is rendered "of woods" to preserve both the plural number and the core material sense of ξύλον as wood/timber rather than a specific object. |
