SIBI-P1 H5251-02
for a raised-banner
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun (absolute or construct in form) with prefixed preposition לְ ("to/for"). No pronominal suffix. Occurs three times in this form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun נֵס derives from the root נסס, "to lift up" or "raise high," referring to something elevated as a visible signal. The prefixed לְ ("for/to") is preserved in the rendering, and the masculine singular noun is reflected by the singular "banner." The term "raised-banner" keeps the connection to the root idea of elevation and visibility. |
