SIBI-P1 H3556-02
the blazing stars
| Morphological Notes | Noun common masculine plural absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ). No pronominal suffix; plural ending -ִים marks masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun כּוֹכָב denotes a shining or blazing celestial body, likely connected to ideas of brightness or fiery radiance. The form הַכּוֹכָבִים is masculine plural with the definite article, so "the blazing stars" preserves both the definite sense ("the") and the masculine plural number ("stars") while reflecting the root idea of radiance. |
