of a messenger
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive, masculine, singular (Gr,N,,,,,GMS) |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive masculine singular form denotes possession or association, rendered concisely as "of a messenger." "Messenger" preserves the root sense of one who bears or announces tidings, without restricting the term to a supernatural being. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
a messenger
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'of a messenger' misreads the form; it should be 'by a messenger' due to agency, but as a single word, 'a messenger' suffices to match token output. |
