the early-light (the dawn)

Morphological NotesDefinite article (הַ) + common masculine singular noun in the absolute state (Ncmsa). One occurrence reflects use as a proper noun. No pronominal suffixes.
Rendering RationaleThe noun שַׁחַר denotes the first light of day, derived from a root associated with early rising and seeking at dawn. The form is masculine singular absolute with the definite article ("the"), so the rendering preserves its singular, definite sense while foregrounding the root idea of early light.
