of a child
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive singular, neuter; indicates possession, source, or relational belonging. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive singular form denotes possession or relationship, rendered naturally in English as "of a child." "Child" preserves the root sense of one who is begotten or produced, reflecting the etymological link to τίκτω (to give birth). |
