SIBI-P1 H567-02
the Prominent-One
| Morphological Notes | Definite article (הָ) + masculine singular gentilic noun (Ngmsa) in the absolute state; functions substantivally to denote an individual member of a people group. |
| Rendering Rationale | אֱמֹרִי is a masculine singular gentilic with the definite article ("the"). Deriving from אמר in the sense of public speech or prominence, "the Prominent-One" preserves the likely root idea of notoriety or elevated status while reflecting the masculine singular form indicated by the morphology. |
