SIBI-P1 Translation H7030-03
kithara
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun, absolute state (Aramaic loanword). |
| Rendering Rationale | The term is a loanword from Greek κιθάρα referring to a specific type of lyre or large harp; rendering it as "kithara" preserves its distinct, foreign instrumental identity. The masculine singular absolute form is reflected by the simple singular noun. |
