SIBI-P1 Translation G2359-06
of hairs
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine, genitive plural (Gr,N,,,,,GFP) — indicates "of" multiple hairs. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive plural form denotes possession or relation and is best rendered "of hairs," preserving both the plural number and the concrete sense of individual strands. This reflects the root meaning of physical hairs rather than an abstract concept of hair in general. |
