of bonds
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive, masculine, plural (Gr,N,,,,,GMP): indicates possession, source, or association—"of" multiple bonds/bindings. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive masculine plural form δεσμῶν denotes multiple instances of that which binds or restrains. "Of bonds" preserves the core idea of binding ties while accurately reflecting the genitive plural morphology. |
