of the risings
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive feminine plural (Gr,N,,,,,GFP): indicating "of" something; feminine gender; plural number. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive plural form denotes possession or source and preserves the plural sense of multiple risings or eastern points. Rendering it as "of the risings" retains the core idea of upward emergence (as of the sun) rather than reducing it to the abstract directional term "east." |
