SIBI-P1 H4120-01
haste
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common feminine singular absolute (HNcfsa). Though frequently used adverbially to mean "quickly" or "promptly," its form is a concrete feminine noun meaning "haste." |
| Rendering Rationale | The term is a feminine singular noun derived from the root מהר, meaning "to hasten" or "to be quick." Rendering it as "haste" preserves the core idea of hurried movement inherent in the root while accurately reflecting the feminine singular absolute form (HNcfsa), which functions as a noun often used adverbially in context. |
