SIBI-P1 Translation G3735-07
of a mountain
| Morphological Notes | Noun, neuter, singular, genitive (Gr,N,,,,,GNS): denotes a single mountain or elevated landform in a genitive relationship. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive singular form ὄρους denotes possession, source, or relation, thus rendered concisely as "of a mountain." This preserves the core sense of an elevated landform arising from the root idea of height or rising. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
a mountain
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'of a mountain' includes the genitive, but here 'ἐπάνω ὄρους' means 'over a mountain'; 'a mountain' alone suffices to fit the structure as a prepositional phrase and stays within the English contextual norm. |
