SIBI-P1 Translation H322-01
rearward
| Morphological Notes | Adverb; feminine directional form with suffix ־ַנִּית derived from אָחוֹר, expressing manner or orientation. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "rearward" preserves the directional sense of movement or orientation toward what is behind, directly reflecting the root אחר ('behind/after'). The feminine adverbial form with the suffix ־ַנִּית indicates manner or direction, thus conveying orientation toward the rear rather than a noun or adjective. |
