SIBI-P1 H2423-02
living creatures
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic noun (common feminine plural absolute) from חֵיוָא (singular). The plural ending -ָן marks the feminine plural in Biblical Aramaic. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root חיה ("to live"), so "living creatures" preserves the life-based sense rather than the more limited "beasts." The morphology (Aramaic noun, common feminine plural absolute) is reflected in the plural "creatures," matching the feminine plural form in Aramaic. |
