SIBI-P1 Translation H6077-02
the raised mound
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun, absolute state, with prefixed definite article (הָ). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root meaning "to swell or rise," denoting an elevated or swelling landform. The definite article הָ requires the rendering "the," and the masculine singular form is preserved with "mound" as a single raised feature. |
