of completion
| Morphological Notes | Noun, neuter, singular, genitive (Gr,N,,,,,GNS): indicates relation, source, or possession—"of" something. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive singular form denotes possession or relation, rendered as "of completion" to preserve the core sense of reaching an end point or fulfillment. "Completion" reflects the primary tel- root meaning without narrowing it to a specific contextual nuance. |
