of the way

Morphological NotesGr,N,,,,,GFS — Noun, Genitive, Feminine, Singular. The genitive case typically expresses possession, source, description, or relationship.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering "of the way" preserves the core image of ὁδός as a road or path while accurately reflecting the genitive feminine singular form (GFS), indicating possession, source, or relation. The singular "way" maintains the lexical unity of the term, and the genitive "of" conveys its dependent grammatical function in context.
