SIBI-P1 H1709-01
a fish
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcmsa); no prefixes or suffixes; functions as a simple singular substantive. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun דָּג is a masculine singular absolute form, so it is rendered "a fish" to preserve its singular number and basic lexical sense. The rendering reflects the core idea of a single aquatic creature, associated in Hebrew thought with darting movement and prolific life. |
