SIBI-P1 H1168-03
the Master-Lord (Baal)
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun (Np) with prefixed definite article (הַ). The article marks specificity: "the Baal," referring to a particular recognized deity. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בַּעַל derives from the root meaning "to own" or "to rule," denoting a master, lord, or husband. With the prefixed definite article (הַ) and as a masculine singular proper noun, the form means "the Baal"—literally "the Master-Lord," preserving both the root sense of lordship/possession and the grammatical singular definiteness. |
