great
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine singular absolute (HAamsa). Functions attributively or substantivally to describe a singular masculine noun or entity as abundant or great. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective רַב derives from the root רבב, conveying the idea of abundance or multiplicity extended into greatness. The form here is masculine singular absolute, so the rendering "great" reflects a singular masculine quality of magnitude or prominence without adding number or gender not present in English adjectives. |
