SIBI-P1 H2975-08
like the Nile-river
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun (Np) יְאֹר with prefixed preposition כַ (“like/as”). Used here in a comparative construction. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun יְאֹר is a masculine singular proper noun referring primarily to the Nile, the great river of Egypt. The prefixed כַ expresses comparison (“like/as”), so "like the Nile-river" preserves both the singular proper sense and the imagery of the great river itself. |
