SIBI-P1 H5775-01
in the flying creature
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common masculine singular absolute (Ncmsa) with prefixed בְּ + definite article (ה assimilated), yielding בָּעוֹף ("in the flying creature"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עוֹף derives from the root עוף, "to fly," and denotes a flying creature. The form is masculine singular absolute with a prefixed preposition בְּ and the definite article (assimilated), so "in the flying creature" preserves both the singular masculine form and the locative force of the prefix while retaining the root idea of flight. |
