SIBI-P1 H6212-02
green growth
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun; מופיע בעיקר בצורה מוחלטת (cmsa) and occasionally in construct (cmsc). No pronominal suffixes in the listed forms. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֶשֶׂב is a masculine singular noun (absolute or construct), so the rendering preserves its singular form with "growth" as a singular collective. "Green growth" reflects the underlying root idea of fresh, glistening greenness rather than limiting the sense to mown "grass," thus maintaining the semantic link to verdant sprouting life. |
