and head
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וָ- prefixed to masculine singular noun רֹאשׁ (absolute state); some occurrences also show prefixed preposition בָ- ("in/at the") with the same noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun רֹאשׁ means "head" in a literal and extended sense (top, chief, beginning). The prefixed conjunction וָ- adds "and," and the singular masculine absolute form preserves the core sense of "head" or "top." |
