sunrise-ward
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun in absolute state with directional ה (he locale) indicating motion toward. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מִזְרָח denotes the place or direction of rising (of the sun). The added directional ה (he locale) marks movement toward that direction, hence "sunrise-ward," preserving both the root idea of rising light and the directional force. |
