SIBI-P1 H2416-12
living-creature of
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common feminine singular construct (HNcfsc). Construct state links the noun to a following genitive, forming a bound phrase such as "living-creature of the field." Derived from חַיָּה (living thing, animal), itself from the verb חיה (to live). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form חַיַּת is a feminine singular noun in construct, derived from the root חיה ("to live"). Rendering it as "living-creature of" preserves the life-based sense of the root and reflects the singular construct form, indicating possession or association with what follows ("of …"). |
