of the heavens
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine, genitive plural (Gr,N,,,,,GMP): indicates "of" the heavens/skies. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive plural form denotes possession or source and must be rendered with "of." The plural reflects multiple heavens or celestial realms within ancient cosmology, preserving the root sense of the celestial expanse. |
