the year-cycle
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common, feminine singular absolute with definite article (הַ). |
| Rendering Rationale | The feminine singular noun with definite article denotes a specific annual cycle. Rendering it as "the year-cycle" preserves the root idea of repetition and seasonal return inherent in שנה while reflecting its definite, singular form. |
