| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine, genitive plural (Gr,N,,,,,GMP): from lemma ὀδούς; root ὀδοντ-. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive plural form ὀδόντων denotes possession, source, or association and is best rendered simply as "of teeth," preserving both the concrete anatomical sense and potential figurative force. The plural reflects multiple teeth without specifying context. |
