SIBI-P1 Translation H426-03
the Mighty Deity
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic common noun, masculine singular, determined (emphatic) state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root meaning "to be strong, powerful," so "Mighty Deity" preserves the core sense of supreme power inherent in the term. The determined (emphatic) masculine singular form in Aramaic supports rendering it as a definite singular entity, hence "the." |
