SIBI-P1 Translation G4071-02
of the flying creatures
| Morphological Notes | Noun, neuter, genitive plural (Gr,N,,,,,GNP): "of" + plural substantive; originally an adjectival substantive meaning "that which flies." |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive plural form denotes possession or relation, hence "of the flying creatures." The rendering preserves the root idea of "that which flies" rather than narrowing prematurely to a specific species. |
