of placing upon
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine, singular, genitive (Gr,N,,,,,GFS): denotes a singular act or instance, expressed in the genitive case as relational or possessive. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive singular form denotes possession or relation, so "of placing upon" preserves the noun’s core sense of imposition or laying upon while reflecting its genitive case. The rendering stays rooted in the act of putting upon without importing specific contextual details. |
