like light
| Morphological Notes | Prefixed preposition כְּ ("like/as") + common singular noun אוֹר; singular, no suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אוֹר denotes light or shining brightness from the root meaning "to shine." The prefixed כְּ adds a comparative sense, yielding "like light," preserving both the root idea of illumination and the singular noun form. |
