SIBI-P1 H6045-02

the imposed occupation

Morphological NotesMasculine singular common noun in the absolute state with prefixed definite article (הָ). No pronominal suffix; functions as a definite singular noun.
Rendering RationaleThe noun עִנְיָן derives from the root ענה, which can denote being afflicted or burdened as well as being engaged or occupied. "The imposed occupation" preserves the sense of a task laid upon someone (reflecting the afflictive nuance of the root) while matching the masculine singular noun with the definite article ("the") indicated by the morphology (Ncmsa with article).
