| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive plural, neuter (Gr,N,,,,,GNP): denotes multiple instances of light in a genitive relationship. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive plural form denotes possession, source, or association, rendered concisely as "of lights." This preserves the root idea of shining or illuminating realities in either physical or figurative sense. |
