of prodigies

Morphological NotesNoun, genitive plural, neuter (Gr,N,,,,,GNP); indicates possession, source, or relation in plural form.
Rendering RationaleThe genitive plural form denotes possession or association, thus "of prodigies" preserves the plural number and genitive case. "Prodigies" reflects the core sense of extraordinary, portentous marvels rather than a generic "wonders."
