SIBI-P1 H7860-04
writing-officer
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine singular absolute; substantival use of a participle derived from the root שטר, functioning as a title for an official. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term is a Qal active participle masculine singular, literally "one who writes." Rendering it as "writing-officer" preserves the root sense of writing/recording while reflecting its functional role as an official administrator, and maintains the masculine singular form. |
