Please be consistent in transliteration: "Nu" is N, not V; we normally use
X for "Xi"
>Is it possible there is a similar meaning as to the superlative usage?
These bear absolutely no relationship to the constructions I indicated;
your phrases involve the same noun used as objects of prepositions; the
construction in my examples was an adnominal genitive of a noun dependent
upon another case-form of the same noun: BASILEUS TWN BASILEWN, NOHSIS
NOHSEWS
