SIBI-P1 H5566-01

the likeness-figure

Morphological NotesNoun, common masculine singular absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ). No pronominal suffix. Appears in absolute form rather than construct in the given morphology.
Rendering RationaleThe noun סֶמֶל derives from a root conveying resemblance or representation, so "likeness-figure" preserves the idea of a shaped object that represents something else. The form is masculine singular absolute with the definite article ("the"), which is reflected in the singular English rendering with the definite article retained.
