SIBI-P1 Translation H7385-03
emptiness
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun רִיק denotes the resultant state of having been emptied out, thus "emptiness" directly reflects the root sense of being made void. As a masculine singular absolute noun, it names the condition itself rather than an action. |
