SIBI-P1 H5223-02
and a struck-one of
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine singular construct (Amscs) with prefixed conjunction וּ ("and"). The construct form indicates it governs a following noun ("of …"). Passive in sense, describing one who has been struck or afflicted. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective נָכֶה derives from the root נכה, "to strike" or "smite," and literally denotes one who has been struck. The form is masculine singular in the construct state, so "a struck-one of" preserves both the passive sense of being smitten and the grammatical singular masculine construct relationship, with the prefixed conjunction rendered as "and." |
