SIBI-P1 H352-13
mighty rams
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine plural absolute noun (HNcmpa). Derived from אַיִל (ʾayil). In some contexts the same consonants may function as a proper noun (e.g., Elim), but the lexical form here is the common noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אַיִל (ʾayil) derives from a root conveying strength or might. In the masculine plural absolute form אֵילִם, it refers to rams as symbols of strength; rendering it "mighty rams" preserves both the concrete image and the underlying root sense of strength, while accurately reflecting the masculine plural morphology. |
