SIBI-P1 Translation H3335-24
shaper
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common masculine singular absolute; substantival form derived from the verbal root יצר, functioning as an agent noun (one who forms). |
| Rendering Rationale | The masculine singular noun יוֹצֵר denotes one who actively forms or fashions, derived directly from the root יצר. "Shaper" preserves the hands-on, purposeful forming sense central to the root while reflecting the masculine singular absolute form. |
