In Latin grammar, the "of" is included in a case called the genitive. For instance, if you wanted to say something like "mother of the girl", you would say "mater puellae", because -ae is the genitive of the word 'puella', meaning girl. With the -ae, it means "of the girl." Thus, the word 'of' is included because of that genitive ending. However, not all Latin words have the same genitive endings. Those are determined based on their declensions.
