SIBI-P1 H3569-07
to the Cushite man
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ with assimilated definite article (לַ) + noun/gentilic masculine singular absolute (Ngmsa). Indicates a specific male individual identified as a Cushite. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun כּוּשִׁי is a masculine singular gentilic meaning “Cushite,” derived from the proper name כוש (Cush). The prefixed לַ marks the preposition "to" with the definite article, yielding “to the Cushite.” The rendering preserves the masculine singular form by specifying “man,” reflecting the Ngmsa morphology. |
