SIBI-P1 Translation H5104-04
in a flowing river of
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב + masculine singular construct noun from נהר. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun נָהָר derives from the root meaning "to flow/stream," so "flowing river" preserves the dynamic sense of continuous movement. The prefixed בִּ indicates "in," and the construct singular form requires the relational "of," even without specifying its complement. |
