SIBI-P1 Translation H4726-02
spring-source of
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun in construct state (HNcmsc). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מָקוֹר denotes a point of origin or outflow, especially a natural spring or wellspring, derived from the root meaning "to dig/bore." The construct state requires the relational sense "of," hence "spring-source of" preserves both the root idea and morphology. |
