 In his _First John Reader_ S.M. Baugh writes that THS ZWHS is a "genitive of 
 connection." (where the word in the genitive highlights the subject matter 
of 
 discourse. In this case, the "word of life.")
 
 What is a genitive of connection? Is this another category formulated to 
 classify and tag syntactical functions? I've looked in other grammars and 
 have yet to find a "genitive of connection." Maybe I've been looking in the 
 wrong places, but I would love to know more about this subject.
