SIBI-P1 H5707-11
for a witness
| Morphological Notes | Preposition לְ ("to/for/as") prefixed to a masculine singular noun (absolute or construct form) עֵד. The noun is common masculine singular (Ncmsa/Ncmsc). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֵד derives from the root עוד, which conveys the act of bearing witness or giving testimony. The form here is masculine singular, and with the prefixed לְ it functions as "for/as a witness," preserving both the singular masculine sense and the legal-testimonial force of the root. |
