SIBI-P1 H5775-10
a flying creature
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun (absolute or construct: HNcmsa / HNcmsc). Grammatically singular, though frequently used as a collective for birds or flying creatures. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עוֹף derives from the root עוף, "to fly." Rendering it as "a flying creature" preserves the verbal idea of flight embedded in the root while reflecting the masculine singular form (absolute or construct) indicated by the morphology. Though often collective in sense, the grammatical form is singular masculine. |
