of murder
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine, singular, genitive (Gr,N,,,,,GMS) — denotes a singular instance or concept of intentional killing in genitive relation. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive singular form denotes possession, source, or relation, rendered concisely as "of murder." This preserves the root sense of intentional, unlawful killing inherent in φον- and reflects the masculine genitive singular morphology. |
