SIBI-P1 H5775-02
the winged flier
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun in the absolute state with prefixed definite article (הָ). Though grammatically singular, it frequently functions as a collective noun for birds. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עוֹף derives from the root עוף meaning "to fly" or "to soar." Rendering it as "the winged flier" preserves the verbal sense of active flight inherent in the root, while reflecting the masculine singular absolute form with the definite article ("the"). Though often used collectively, the morphology here is singular. |
