SIBI-P1 H6205-03
the cloud-thick gloom
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in the absolute state with prefixed definite article (הָ). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֲרָפֶל denotes a dense, lowering darkness associated with heavy cloud cover, reflecting the root idea of thickening or darkening (possibly related to dripping or overcasting). The form is masculine singular absolute with the prefixed definite article ("the"), so the rendering preserves its singular sense and definiteness as "the cloud-thick gloom." |
