| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive, neuter, plural (Gr,N,,,,,GNP): indicating possession, source, or association; neuter plural form of ζιζάνιον. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive plural form denotes possession or association, rendered as "of," while preserving the specific agricultural sense of ζιζάνιον as darnel—an imitation grain resembling wheat. "Darnel weeds" reflects both the botanical specificity and plural morphology. |
