| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine, singular, genitive (Gr,N,,,,,GMSI): proper name in genitive form indicating possession, source, or association. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive singular masculine form denotes possession, association, or descent. Rendering it as "of Reuben" preserves the proper name and reflects the genitive case without adding contextual interpretation (person vs. tribe). |
