SIBI-P1 Translation H5921-20
as upon
| Morphological Notes | Preposition עַל with prefixed comparative particle כְּ ("as/like"); inseparable compound prepositional form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The base preposition עַל conveys elevation or position "upon/over." The prefixed כְּ adds comparison ("as, like"), yielding the composite sense "as upon," preserving both the upward/elevated relational force of על and the comparative morphology. |
