SIBI-P1 H3384-02

the one who shoots

Morphological NotesQal active participle, masculine singular absolute, with prefixed definite article (הַ). Functions substantivally: "the shooter" or "the one who shoots."
Rendering RationaleThe form is a Qal active participle masculine singular with the definite article, literally "the shooting one." Rendering it as "the one who shoots" preserves both the active, ongoing sense of the participle and the masculine singular grammar while retaining the root idea of projecting or directing something outward.
