SIBI-P1 Translation H6921-05
east
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common, masculine singular, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives directly from the root meaning "to be in front" or "to precede," and thus denotes the direction that lies "before"—the east, where the sun rises. The singular masculine absolute form is preserved with the simple directional noun "east." |
