SIBI-P1 Translation H1710-05
the fish-kind
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common, feminine singular absolute with definite article (הַ). Feminine collective form derived from the root דגה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The definite article הַ marks it as "the," and the feminine singular form functions as a collective noun denoting the class or aggregate of fish rather than a single fish. "Fish-kind" preserves the collective, species-level sense rooted in multiplication and swarming aquatic life. |
