Morphological NotesCommon noun, both genders, singular absolute. Though grammatically capable of masculine or feminine agreement, it appears here in singular absolute form without article or suffix.
Rendering RationaleThe form שֶׁמֶשׁ is a common noun, singular, absolute (HNcbsa), referring to the single celestial body that shines. Rendering it as "sun" preserves both the core meaning of the root שמש (solar radiance) and the singular absolute morphology without adding definiteness not present in the form.
