מוֹרָ֑/י
𐤌𐤅𐤓/𐤉
yârâh
of my teachers
To throw, cast, or shoot—primarily an arrow or projectile; by extension, to point or direct, and in a metaphorical sense, to teach, instruct, or give guidance. Used both of concrete physical action (shooting arrows, casting lots, throwing stones) and of indicating, explaining, or instructing in law, ritual, or custom. The teaching sense arises from the idea of clearly pointing out a direction or instruction.

my instructors
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural noun in construct state with 1st person common singular pronominal suffix. |
