evening mingling
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֶרֶב denotes the period when day and night intermingle; rendering it "evening mingling" preserves the root sense of mixture (ערב) while conveying the transitional time after sunset. The masculine singular absolute form is reflected in a simple singular noun phrase. |
