of oath-taking
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine, singular, genitive (Gr,N,,,,,GFS) — denotes possession, source, or relation as a singular feminine noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term denotes the act or formal process of swearing an oath; rendering it as "oath-taking" preserves the procedural sense inherent in the -ομοσία formation. The genitive singular form is reflected by "of," indicating possession or relation. |
