Morphological NotesNoun common masculine singular absolute (Ncmsa) with prefixed preposition ב and assimilated definite article (בַּ–). The form is singular and definite: "in the gate."
Rendering RationaleThe noun שַׁעַר is a masculine singular noun meaning a gate or entry opening. The prefixed בַּ (beth with the definite article) indicates "in the" specific gate. Rendering it "in the gate-opening" preserves the concrete sense of an architectural opening while reflecting the masculine singular absolute form with the definite article.
