SIBI-P1 H6996-07
as the small (one)
| Morphological Notes | Preposition כַּ ("as/like") with assimilated definite article + adjective קָטֹן, masculine singular absolute. The dagesh in ק reflects assimilation of the article after the prefixed preposition. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective קָטֹן is masculine singular absolute, meaning "small" or "little." The prefixed כַּ (with assimilated article) gives the sense "as the small," preserving both the comparative force and the masculine singular form. The rendering retains the root idea of smallness or lesser status while reflecting the singular masculine morphology. |
