SIBI-P1 Translation H4606-01
from sunset-enterings-of
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic masculine plural noun in construct state (collective singular sense) with prefixed preposition מִן ("from"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מֵעָל derives from the Aramaic root meaning "to enter," describing the sun’s act of "going in" (setting). The form here includes a prefixed preposition ("from") and is masculine plural construct, preserved as "enterings-of" to reflect its morphological plurality and construct state. |
