a leaping horse

Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun (HNcmsa/HNcmsc), appearing in absolute or construct state; no pronominal suffix. Strong’s H5483.
Rendering RationaleThe noun סוּס is a common masculine singular (absolute or construct) form, so it is rendered in the singular as "a ... horse." The adjective "leaping" preserves the underlying root sense of skipping or springing, reflecting the imagery of energetic motion embedded in the word’s etymology.
