SIBI-P1 Translation G2398-04

of one's own

Morphological NotesAdjectival determiner; feminine, genitive, singular form of ἴδιος, modifying a feminine noun to express possession or particular association.
Rendering RationaleThe genitive feminine singular form denotes possession or close association with a feminine noun, so "of one's own" preserves both the genitive case and the core idea of belonging or personal possession inherent in ἴδιος.
