Rootעל (ʿ-l)
Core Meaningsabove, over, upon, against, on
Semantic Rangeabove, over, upon, against, according to, after, among, at, because of, beside, between, by, concerning, from, in, on, over, than, through, to, touching, with; in pronominal form, denotes position or relation 'upon/to us' contextually.
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical and liturgical contexts like the Aleinu prayer, emphasizes communal obligation ('it is upon us') and divine sovereignty over Israel, highlighting covenantal responsibility, separation for God's service, and eschatological hope for universal recognition of God's kingship.
Morphological NotesHR (preposition) with Sp1cp (1st person common plural suffix -נוּ); appears as suffixed form עָלֵינוּ across occurrences.
Rendering RationaleThis rendering preserves the core preposition 'upon' from the root על (above/over) combined with the 1cp pronominal suffix -נוּ ('us'), directly reflecting the morphology HR/Sp1cp as a singular preposition with first-person common plural reference; it maintains the downward aspect inherent in the root's sense of 'upon' or 'over' in relation to the group. English lacks strict gender for 'us' (common plural), aligning with Hebrew's common gender usage here.
