Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcmsa); no article or suffix; functions as an indefinite singular noun.
Rendering RationaleThe noun מוֹפֵת is a masculine singular absolute form. Deriving from the root יפה (to be beautiful or conspicuous), it denotes something that stands out visibly. "A conspicuous sign" preserves the idea of striking visibility inherent in the root while reflecting the singular masculine noun form.
