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.
