hind-part

Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun in the absolute state; though often functioning adverbially ("behind, afterward"), its base form denotes a concrete "back" or "rear."
Rendering RationaleThe noun אָחוֹר derives from the root אחר, expressing the idea of what is behind or after. As a masculine singular absolute noun (HNcmsa), "hind-part" preserves both the concrete spatial sense and the singular form reflected in the morphology.
