SIBI-P1 H7838-02
a darkened-black (man)
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine singular absolute (HAamsa). Functions attributively or predicatively to describe a masculine singular noun; here used in absolute form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective שָׁחֹר derives from the root שחר, conveying the idea of darkening or duskiness. The morphology (adjective, masculine singular absolute) requires a masculine singular rendering; thus "a darkened-black (man)" preserves both the core sense of dusky darkness and the grammatical form. |
