SIBI-P1 H3220-04
the roaring sea
| Morphological Notes | Noun common masculine singular absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ); no pronominal suffix; lexical form יָם (yâm). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun יָם derives from a root associated with roaring or surging, reflecting the sound and power of breaking waters. The form הַיָּם is masculine singular absolute with the definite article, so "the roaring sea" preserves both the definiteness and singular masculine sense while foregrounding the root idea of tumultuous waters. |
