SIBI-P1 H4279-02

the after-day

Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcmsa). Functions adverbially in many contexts to denote the next day or a future time.
Rendering RationaleThe noun derives from the root אחר, meaning "to be behind" or "to come after." Rendering it as "the after-day" preserves the root idea of what comes later, rather than using the abstract "tomorrow." The form is masculine singular absolute, reflected in the singular concrete expression "day."
