SIBI-P1 H5775-17
and a flying creature
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun (absolute or construct in different occurrences) with prefixed conjunction וְ ("and"). Though singular in form (Ncmsa/Ncmsc), it often functions collectively for birds as a class. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עוֹף derives from the verbal root meaning "to fly" or "to soar," so "flying creature" preserves the action-based sense embedded in the root. The morphology indicates a masculine singular noun with a prefixed conjunction, so the rendering reflects singular number and includes "and" for וְ. |
