Morphological NotesAdjective from טוב used substantivally; feminine singular absolute form (no article or suffix).
Rendering RationaleThe form טוֹבָה is feminine singular absolute, functioning substantivally from the root טוב (“goodness, benefit”). Rendering it as “a good thing” preserves the feminine singular sense while maintaining the core idea of tangible goodness or benefit inherent in the root.
