SIBI-P1 H2472-05
a dream-vision
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the absolute state from the root חלם; appears without article or suffix in these occurrences. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חֲלוֹם derives from the verb חלם, "to dream," and thus denotes that which is dreamed. Rendering it as "a dream-vision" preserves the verbal, experiential sense of something seen in sleep. The form is masculine singular absolute (HNcmsa), which is reflected by the singular "a" and the unmarked masculine noun in English. |
