SIBI-P1 H5608-50
and counting-scribe
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common masculine singular absolute (Ncmsa) with prefixed conjunction וְ ("and"). Derived substantively from the verbal root ספר, denoting one who counts or records. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun סוֹפֵר is a masculine singular absolute form derived from the root ספר, "to count, number, or record." Rendering it as "counting-scribe" preserves the root idea of enumeration and inscription while reflecting its masculine singular noun form, with the prefixed conjunction וְ rendered as "and." |
