SIBI-P1 H7218-35
their head
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in construct (רֹאשׁ) with 3mp pronominal suffix (־ם), yielding רֹאשָׁם. Though English may render it collectively as plural in context, the Hebrew form is grammatically singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun רֹאשׁ (rôʾsh) denotes the head as the topmost or chief part. The form is masculine singular construct with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix, literally "the head of them," hence "their head," preserving the singular form governed by the plural possessive. |
