SIBI-P1 H570-02
yesterday-night
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew adverb (HD); indeclinable temporal noun used adverbially, with no gender, number, or pronominal inflection in this form. |
| Rendering Rationale | אֶמֶשׁ functions as an indeclinable adverb denoting the immediately preceding night or day. Rendering it as "yesterday-night" preserves the concrete, temporal sense of the Hebrew term rather than generalizing it to "formerly," while accurately reflecting its fixed adverbial form without gender or number distinctions. |
