the small one
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine singular, absolute state, with definite article (הַ). |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective קָטָן denotes smallness or lesser status from the root קטנ. The masculine singular absolute form with the definite article is best rendered "the small one," preserving both definiteness and singular masculine sense without imposing contextual nuance. |
