SIBI-P1 H7880-01

the sprouting shrubs

Morphological NotesNoun common masculine plural absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ). No pronominal suffix. Occurs here in the absolute state as a definite plural noun.
Rendering RationaleThe noun שִׂיחַ derives from the root שׂיח, conveying the idea of something put forth or expressed. In botanical usage it refers to growth that springs up. The form is masculine plural absolute with the definite article ("the"), so "the sprouting shrubs" preserves both the definite sense and the plural number while reflecting the root idea of growth being put forth.
