and a spirit-wind
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ ("and") prefixed to a feminine singular noun רוּחַ (Ncbsc = noun common feminine singular construct; some attestations absolute). No pronominal suffix; number is singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun רוּחַ denotes wind or breath and, by extension, spirit; rendering it "spirit-wind" preserves the shared root idea of invisible, moving air that animates or impels. The prefixed וְ is reflected by "and," and the noun is singular feminine (as indicated by Ncbsc), here conveyed as a singular English noun without added plurality or abstraction. |
