SIBI-P1 H2416-11
a living creature
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular noun (common), absolute state; from the adjective חַי ("living") derived from the verbal root חיה ("to live"). Often functions substantivally to denote a living being, especially an animal. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root חיה (ḥ-y-h), expressing life and vitality. In this form it is feminine singular absolute, so the rendering preserves the singular sense as "a living creature," reflecting a single animate being characterized by life. |
