| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ ("in") prefixed to a masculine singular construct noun (Ncmsc). The construct state links the month to a following genitive (e.g., a specific month or event). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חֹדֶשׁ derives from the root חדש, meaning "to be new" or "to renew," originally referring to the new moon as the renewed lunar cycle. Rendering it "new-moon-month" preserves the connection to renewal inherent in the root, while the prefixed בְּ is reflected by "in." The singular construct form (masculine singular construct) is represented by "month of," indicating a genitive relationship with what follows. |
