| Morphological Notes | Adjective, genitive masculine plural (GMP); attributive form describing masculine plural nouns in the genitive case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive masculine plural form denotes possession or association and modifies masculine plural referents. "Of great ones" preserves the root sense of greatness while reflecting the genitive plural morphology. |
