of foam
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine, singular, genitive (Gr,N,,,,,GMS) |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive singular form denotes possession, source, or description, so "of foam" preserves both the root meaning (foam/froth) and the genitive case relationship without adding contextual nuance. |
