SIBI-P1 G5443-05
of the clan-offshoot
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,GFS,). The genitive case indicates possession, origin, relationship, or partitive sense; feminine grammatical gender; singular number. |
| Rendering Rationale | φυλή derives from φύω (“to grow, bring forth”), conveying the idea of an offshoot or growth from a common stock. Rendering it as “clan-offshoot” preserves this organic, lineage-based sense, and the genitive feminine singular form (GFS) is reflected by “of the,” marking possession, source, or association with one specific tribe. |
