SIBI-P1 Translation H216-19
lights
| Morphological Notes | Common noun, plural absolute; gender marked as both in form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The plural absolute noun form denotes multiple instances or manifestations of illumination. "Lights" preserves the root sense of shining or brightness without shifting to "luminaries," which would imply a different derivative form. |
