SIBI-P1 Translation G3735-07
of a mountain
| Morphological Notes | Noun, neuter, singular, genitive (Gr,N,,,,,GNS): denotes a single mountain or elevated landform in a genitive relationship. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive singular form ὄρους denotes possession, source, or relation, thus rendered concisely as "of a mountain." This preserves the core sense of an elevated landform arising from the root idea of height or rising. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
mountain
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1's 'of a mountain' is overly specific for the Greek phrase which, as a genitive with τοῦ, refers to 'the mountain' or just 'mountain' in the phrase 'from the mountain'; article is carried by 'the' already, and English does not repeat 'of' here. Context demands just 'mountain'. |
