upon him/it

Morphological NotesHR (preposition with pronominal suffix)/Sp3ms: preposition על with 3ms suffix -ו, vocalized as עָלָי/ו in various cantillation forms.
Rendering RationaleThis rendering preserves the core preposition meaning of 'upon' or 'over/above' from the root על, which denotes elevation or position toward something with a downward aspect; it reflects the HR/Sp3ms morphology as a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix 'him/it', maintaining gender (masculine), number (singular), and person (3rd). The form עָלָי/ו combines the preposition with the suffix, commonly translated 'on it/him' in context.
