SIBI-P1 Translation G1085-04
of a lineage
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive singular, neuter (Gr,N,,,,,GNS); denotes possession, source, or relational belonging. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive singular neuter form expresses possession or relation, here rendered as "of a lineage" to preserve the core idea of shared birth or origin from the γέν- root. "Lineage" reflects descent and common origin without narrowing the semantic range to a specific social unit. |

kind
