SIBI-P1 Translation H352-29
strong rams
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural common noun, absolute state (אֵילִים) with prefixed conjunction in surface forms. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אַיִל derives from the root אול conveying strength or might, and in its concrete zoological sense denotes a ram, an animal emblematic of vigor. The masculine plural absolute form אֵילִים is rendered "strong rams" to preserve both the root idea of strength and the plural morphology. |
