| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the construct state (HNcmsc). The construct form links it genitively to a following noun ("chief of …"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שַׂר derives from the root שׂרר, "to rule" or "to exercise dominion." Rendering it as "ruling-chief" preserves the active sense of authority inherent in the root, while "of" reflects the masculine singular construct state (HNcmsc), indicating that the word is grammatically bound to a following noun. |
