It cannot be inferred, however, that if X translates Y of another
language, X automatically = Y. Moreover, even if the best way of
rendering X into English is by means of a possessive adjective, X is a
possessive. Though we commonly refer to the Greek (and Latin) dative of
possession, more substantive grammars like Smyth should be consulted
on "possession" as it relates to the dative vs the genitive.
