| Morphological Notes | Independent personal pronoun; third person; masculine; singular; subject form, often used for emphasis or as a nominal copula substitute. |
| Rendering Rationale | This is the third person masculine singular independent personal pronoun, whose core function is to mark or emphasize a masculine singular subject. The rendering "he" preserves its basic pronominal identity and masculine singular morphology without importing contextual intensification. |
