the multiplying locust

Morphological NotesNoun common masculine singular absolute with prefixed definite article (הָ). From the root רבה (r-b-h).
Rendering RationaleThe noun אַרְבֶּה derives from the root רבה, "to multiply, increase," reflecting the locust’s rapid and overwhelming proliferation. The form is masculine singular with the definite article ("the"), which is preserved in the rendering "the multiplying locust," maintaining both the singular number and the root sense of increase.
