new-moon
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun; appears in both absolute and construct states. No pronominal suffix in the listed forms. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חֹדֶשׁ derives from the root חדש, meaning "to be new" or "to renew." As a masculine singular noun (absolute or construct), it refers literally to the "new" phase of the moon, from which the concept of a month developed. Rendering it as "new-moon" preserves the root idea of newness while reflecting its singular masculine form. |
