SIBI-P1 Translation G3735-07

of a mountain

Morphological NotesNoun, neuter, singular, genitive (Gr,N,,,,,GNS): denotes a single mountain or elevated landform in a genitive relationship.
Rendering RationaleThe genitive singular form ὄρους denotes possession, source, or relation, thus rendered concisely as "of a mountain." This preserves the core sense of an elevated landform arising from the root idea of height or rising.

the mountain
