SIBI-P1 H2752-01

the cave-dweller

Morphological NotesNoun, masculine singular absolute, with prefixed definite article (הַ). Gentilic form indicating a member of a people characterized by dwelling in caves.
Rendering RationaleThe noun חֹרִי derives from the root חור, meaning "hole" or "cave," thus denoting one associated with caves. The morphology (definite article + masculine singular gentilic noun) requires a singular masculine rendering, hence "the cave-dweller," preserving both the root sense and the grammatical form.
