SIBI-P1 Translation G2774-02
of the principal matter
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive, neuter, singular (Gr,N,,,,,GNS): denotes possession, source, or relation; from κεφάλαιον. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the root κεφαλ- (“head,” hence “chief/principal”) and conveys something central or foremost. The genitive neuter singular form is preserved by the English genitive construction “of the,” indicating possession or relation. |
