SIBI-P1 H1616-02
a resident-sojourner
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcmsa); functions as a substantive referring to one individual who resides as a non-native within a community. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun גֵּר derives from the root גור, "to sojourn" or "to reside temporarily." The rendering "resident-sojourner" preserves both the sense of dwelling in a place and the temporary, outsider status implied by the root. The morphology (common masculine singular absolute) is reflected in the singular English form. |
