of palm trees
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive masculine plural (Gr,N,,,,,GMP): denotes "of" + plural masculine referent. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive masculine plural form φοινίκων denotes possession or association and is best rendered "of palm trees," preserving both the root meaning (date palm) and the plural genitive morphology. |
