Grammars insist on the impossibility of a subjective genitive in Irish (except for intransitive actions). They say there's only an objective genitive,
i.e. the genitive of a noun can only be the object of an action, not its subject.
Their standard example is "grá Dé" which can't be translated as "God's love" but only as "love for God"

Ó Dónaill gives this example (entry "grá"): An ~ atá ag Dia dúinn, God’s love for us.

So, "grá athar" would be the same, wouldn't it?

Just had another thought, if you are going to use the old script, then old spelling might be more appropriate:

Is buan an gráḋ atá ag aṫair dá inġean
Is buan an gráḋ atá ag aṫair dá inġean (SL = sean-litriú "old spelling")

Is buan an gráḋ atá ag aṫair dá inġin
