bitter
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine singular absolute or construct (HAamsa/HAamsc); occasionally also attested as a masculine singular noun (HNcmsc). Feminine counterpart is מָרָה. Used attributively or predicatively. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form מַר is a masculine singular adjective derived from the root מרר (m-r-r), conveying the quality of bitterness or sharpness. Rendering it as “bitter” preserves the core sensory and figurative force of the root while accurately reflecting the masculine singular adjectival morphology (HAamsa/HAamsc). |
