inner core
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular absolute. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun לֵב (lêb) derives from the root לבב, denoting the inner or central part of a person or thing. "Inner core" preserves the root sense of interiority while allowing for its extended meaning as the seat of thought, will, and moral character; the singular absolute form is reflected by the simple singular rendering. |
