Morphological NotesHR/Ncmsa: Hebrew Root, Noun Common Masculine Singular Absolute; construct chain with preposition לְ, appearing in vocalized forms like לְאִישׁ with varying cantillation accents.
Rendering RationaleThe form לְאִישׁ is a preposition לְ ('to, for') + masculine singular noun אִישׁ in the absolute state (HR/Ncmsa), rendered as 'to a man' to preserve the indefinite singular masculine reference and common idiomatic use indicating 'to each man' or 'to anyone'; this maintains the root's core sense of an individual male person without genericizing to 'person.'
