SIBI-P1 Translation H259-15
the one
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, cardinal number; feminine singular absolute with definite article (ה + אֶחָת). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is feminine singular absolute with the definite article, from the root meaning "to be one" or "to unite." "The one" preserves singularity and definiteness while reflecting the cardinal sense of a single, unified entity. |
