SIBI-P1 H5331-04
perpetuity
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun (HNcmsa/HNcmsc); appears in both absolute and construct states. Often functions adverbially in context to denote continual duration. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is masculine singular (common noun, absolute/construct), so it is rendered as a singular abstract noun. "Perpetuity" preserves the root sense of enduring to the furthest point, conveying ongoing, surpassing duration that underlies translations such as "forever" or "victory." |
