SIBI-P1 H408-01
upon, over (down-upon)
| Morphological Notes | Preposition (HR); invariable form; may govern nouns, pronouns (with pronominal suffixes), or clauses; expresses spatial, relational, or figurative relations. |
| Rendering Rationale | The preposition עַל derives from the root idea of elevation or height and denotes something positioned above or over another, often with a downward orientation toward what is beneath. As an uninflected Hebrew preposition (HR), it carries no gender, number, or person distinctions, so the rendering reflects its basic spatial force without added grammatical marking. |
