SIBI-P1 Translation H7218-56
and head of
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ prefixed to masculine singular common noun in construct state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun רֹאשׁ means "head" or "top" in both literal and extended senses. The construct singular form requires an "of" relationship, and the prefixed וְ adds "and," yielding "and head of" to preserve both root meaning and morphology. |
