of a camel
| Morphological Notes | Noun; genitive; feminine; singular (Gr,N,,,,,GFS). |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive singular form denotes possession or association, rendered concisely as "of a camel." This preserves the concrete reference to the animal while reflecting feminine singular genitive morphology. |
