SIBI-P1 H2423-01

a living creature

Morphological NotesAramaic noun, common feminine singular absolute (ANcfsa); no definite article or pronominal suffix; from the root חיה (to live).
Rendering RationaleThe noun derives from the root חיה ("to live"), so rendering it as "living creature" preserves the core idea of life inherent in the term rather than the more generic "beast." The morphology (Aramaic noun, common feminine singular absolute) is reflected in the singular form "a living creature."
