SIBI-P1 H7420-05
a hurling-spear
| Morphological Notes | Common noun, masculine singular absolute. No article or pronominal suffix; functions as a simple singular noun in construct or absolute contexts. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun רֹמַח derives from a root meaning "to hurl" or "to throw," highlighting the spear as a weapon designed for casting. Rendering it as "a hurling-spear" preserves this root sense while reflecting the masculine singular absolute form (HNcmsa), indicating one indefinite spear. |
