SIBI-P1 Translation H4410-01
the kingship
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common feminine singular absolute with definite article (הַ); abstract formation from מלכ. |
| Rendering Rationale | The feminine singular noun מְלוּכָה, formed from the root מלכ with an abstract -וּכָה ending and definite article, denotes the state or institution of ruling. "The kingship" preserves the abstract sense of exercised royal rule rather than merely the territory ruled. |
