of Andrew
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine, singular, genitive (Gr,N,,,,,GMS): denotes possession, association, or source; here the genitive form of a proper name. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form Ἀνδρέου is the genitive singular of the proper name Ἀνδρέας, so it is rendered "of Andrew" to preserve the genitive case. As a personal name derived from the root meaning "man" or "manly," it functions semantically as a name rather than a descriptive noun in Koine usage. |
