SIBI-P1 H6996-01
the small (one)
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine singular absolute, with prefixed definite article (הַ). Functions substantivally in many contexts ("the small one," "the younger," "the least"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective קָטָן carries the core idea of smallness or insignificance from the root קטן. The form is masculine singular absolute with the definite article ("the"), so "the small (one)" preserves both the diminutive sense of the root and the grammatical features of masculine singular definiteness. |
