SIBI-P1 H5251-04
a raised signal-banner
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcmsa). No pronominal suffix; functions as a singular concrete object. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun נֵס derives from the root נסס, conveying the act of lifting up or displaying prominently. Rendering it as "a raised signal-banner" preserves the core idea of something elevated as a visible sign, while reflecting the masculine singular absolute form ("a" single banner). |
