SIBI-P1 H3220-21
sea-ward
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun (יָם) with directional ה (he locale) suffix, indicating movement toward the sea; appears in absolute or construct form with the directional ending. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun יָם (yām) means "sea," likely from a root evoking roaring or surging waters. The added directional ה (he locale) indicates motion toward a place, so "sea-ward" preserves both the concrete image of the sea and the directional force of the morphology, rather than abstracting it to "westward." |
