Morphological NotesNoun (HR); common gender (Nc); masculine (m); singular (s); absolute state (a) or construct state (c); appears with preposition בְּ- in all occurrences.
Rendering RationaleThe form בְּאִישׁ consists of the preposition בְּ ('in, with, by') + אִישׁ (man), reflecting the common biblical construct where אִישׁ denotes a singular masculine individual; the faithful rendering preserves this prepositional phrase and the masculine singular absolute or construct morphology without alteration. It maintains the root's core sense of 'man as extant male person' while exactly matching the HR/Ncmsa and HR/Ncmsc forms. English gender and number are reflected via 'man' as inherently masculine singular.
