SIBI-P1 Translation G1424-01
of settings
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive feminine plural (Gr,N,,,,,GFP); denotes possession, source, or relation in plural form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive feminine plural form denotes "of settings," preserving the root sense of the sun’s setting or sinking. This reflects both the plural number and genitive case without narrowing the meaning to a specific geographic interpretation. |
