SIBI-P1 H6828-11
toward the hidden-quarter
| Morphological Notes | Common feminine singular noun in the absolute state with directional ה (he locale) suffix, indicating movement toward a place (“northward”). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun צָפוֹן derives from the root צפן (“to hide, conceal”), originally referring to a hidden or dark quarter of the sky. The form here is feminine singular with a directional ה (he locale), indicating motion toward; thus “toward the hidden-quarter” preserves both the root sense (‘hidden’) and the directional nuance. |
