SIBI-P1 Translation G2251-04
of our
| Morphological Notes | Possessive adjective; genitive feminine singular; first person plural (pertaining to us). |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive feminine singular form expresses possession or association, meaning "of our" in relation to a feminine singular noun. It preserves the root sense of belonging to us while reflecting the genitive case. |

our
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | 'Of our' is awkward in sequence; 'our' is the idiomatic English possessive in this slot, as would naturally follow 'of the' article for descriptive noun phrases in English. |
