SIBI-P1 Translation H7218-18
to the head of
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular construct (רֹאשׁ) with prefixed preposition לְ ("to/for"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun רֹאשׁ in masculine singular construct means "head of" in a relational sense (physical, spatial, or figurative). The prefixed לְ adds the prepositional force "to," yielding "to the head of," which preserves both root meaning and construct morphology. |
