SIBI-P1 H7307-07

the wind-spirit

Morphological NotesNoun common feminine singular absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ־). From the root רוח, denoting moving air or animating force.
Rendering RationaleThe form is a feminine singular noun with the definite article ("the"), so it is rendered as a singular definite expression. "Wind-spirit" preserves the concrete root sense of moving air (wind, breath) while also carrying its extended meaning of animating spirit or inner force, reflecting the semantic breadth of רוּחַ.
