SIBI-P1 H7985-01
ruling-authority
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic noun, common masculine singular; appears primarily in the construct state (ANcmsc) and once in the absolute state (ANcmsa). No pronominal suffixes are attached. The construct form links it to a following genitive. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the Aramaic root שלט, meaning "to rule" or "to exercise mastery." Rendering it as "ruling-authority" preserves the active sense of exercised power inherent in the root while reflecting its masculine singular form (as shown in the morphology), whether in construct ("ruling-authority of…") or absolute state. |
