SIBI-P1 H8179-27
the gateways
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural absolute noun (HNcmpa) from שַׁעַר; no pronominal suffix; plural ending ־ִים. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שַׁעַר derives from the root שער in the sense of an opening or access point. Rendering it as "gateways" preserves the concrete idea of structured entrances while reflecting the masculine plural absolute form (HNcmpa) with the definite article supplied contextually as in common translation ("the gates"). |
