of tongue
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive, feminine, singular (Gr,N,,,,,GFS); denotes a feminine singular noun in the genitive case indicating possession or association. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive singular form γλώσσης denotes possession, source, or relation, here rendered concisely as "of tongue" to preserve the feminine singular genitive morphology while retaining the core root meaning. "Tongue" reflects the primary lexical sense, from which extended meanings (language, speech) derive. |
