SIBI-P1 H7218-15
the head
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the absolute state with prefixed definite article (הַ/הָ). No pronominal suffix; functions as a definite singular noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun רֹאשׁ literally means "head," the physical part that stands at the top and directs the body, and by extension denotes what is foremost or chief. The morphology (masculine singular absolute with prefixed definite article) requires the rendering "the head," preserving both the concrete root imagery and the definite, singular form. |
