SIBI-P1 H8481-01
the under-most (one)
| Morphological Notes | Definite article הַ + adjective תַּחְתּוֹן; masculine singular absolute form. Functions attributively or substantivally as "the lowest" or "the nethermost." |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective תַּחְתּוֹן derives from the root תחת, meaning "under" or "beneath," and denotes the lowest position in relation to others. Rendering it as "the under-most (one)" preserves the spatial sense of being beneath while reflecting the masculine singular form with the definite article ("the") indicated by the morphology. |
