SIBI-P1 Translation G4690-04
of seeds
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive plural, neuter (Gr,N,,,,,GNP) — indicating "of" + plural neuter noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive plural form denotes possession, source, or relation and is rendered "of seeds" to preserve both the agricultural root sense (that which is sown) and the plural morphology. This reflects the noun formed from "to sow," emphasizing produced or sown results. |
