of the skin
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine, singular, genitive (Gr,N,,,,,GMS): denotes possession, source, or relation—"of the skin." |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive singular form indicates possession or relation, rendered concisely as "of the skin." "Skin" preserves the root sense of the visible, touchable surface of the body rather than the whole body in a generalized sense. |

skin
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | 'Of the skin' (P1) is literal, but contextually, 'skin' alone fits as the object of the preposition and is idiomatic for the English context; retains faithfulness. |
