SIBI-P1 Translation G3788-06
of the eye
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive masculine singular (Gr,N,,,,,GMS); denotes possession, relation, source, or description. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive masculine singular form denotes possession, source, or relation, so "of the eye" preserves the root meaning of the physical organ of sight while accurately reflecting the genitive case and singular number. |
