SIBI-P1 H2320-10
new-moons
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine plural absolute noun from חֹדֶשׁ (chôdesh). No pronominal suffix; plural ending ־ִים marks masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חֳדָשִׁים is masculine plural absolute (HNcmpa) from חֹדֶשׁ, derived from the root חדש meaning "to be new" or "to renew." Rendering it as "new-moons" preserves the root sense of renewal while reflecting the masculine plural form. In the Hebrew calendar, each month begins with the new moon, so the term naturally extends to mean "months." |
