SIBI-P1 Translation G3624-05
of a dwelling
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine, singular, genitive — indicating possession, source, or relational belonging to one dwelling/household. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive singular form denotes possession, source, or association, rendered concisely as "of a dwelling." "Dwelling" reflects the root sense of οἰκ- as an inhabited place while remaining broad enough to include household or lineage by extension. |
