of a small one
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, genitive masculine singular (Gr,AR/NS,,,,GMS); descriptive adjective in genitive form modifying or substantivally describing a masculine singular referent. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive masculine singular form denotes possession, relation, or description: "of a small one." This preserves the root idea of smallness or insignificance while reflecting the genitive case and singular masculine morphology. |
