SIBI-P1 H1390-07

the Hill

Morphological NotesDefinite article (הַ) prefixed to a feminine singular absolute noun (Ncfsa). Some occurrences function as a proper noun (Np) with the article retained.
Rendering RationaleThe form הַגִּבְעָה consists of the definite article הַ plus the feminine singular noun גִּבְעָה, meaning "hill." Rendering it as "the Hill" preserves both the definite article and the singular sense, while retaining the root meaning of an elevated place; in contexts where it functions as a proper name, it still transparently reflects its origin as "the hill."
