SIBI-P1 Translation H7218-25
from the head
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן (from) prefixed to masculine singular construct noun רֹאשׁ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form combines the preposition מִן ("from") with the masculine singular construct noun רֹאשׁ ("head, top"). Rendering it "from the head" preserves the core spatial and hierarchical sense of the root without importing contextual nuance such as "beginning." |
