SIBI-P1 H216-24
and light
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun (Ncms), appearing in absolute and construct states, often with prefixed conjunction וְ ("and") or preposition בְ ("in"). No pronominal suffixes in the cited forms. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אוֹר is a masculine singular noun meaning "light" or "illumination," directly reflecting the root idea of radiance or shining. The prefixed conjunction וְ ("and") in several occurrences is preserved in the rendering "and light," maintaining both the singular masculine form and the simple nominal sense without abstraction away from the concrete imagery of illumination. |
