SIBI-P1 Translation H7218-32
heads
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine plural, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives directly from the root ראש meaning "head" or "top." The plural masculine absolute form רָאשִׁים is therefore rendered "heads," preserving both the concrete sense and its potential figurative extension to leading or foremost ones. |
