SIBI-P1 Translation H2942-03
discernment
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic noun, masculine singular, absolute state (with prefixed conjunction וּ in the surface form). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root meaning "to taste" and by extension "to perceive or discern." As a masculine singular absolute noun, it denotes the quality or faculty of discernment as an abstract concept, preserving the root’s movement from sensory taste to intellectual judgment. |
