SIBI-P1 Translation H7620-03
the seven-cycles
| Morphological Notes | Masculine plural common noun, absolute state, with prefixed definite article (הַ). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun denotes fixed units composed of seven, and the masculine plural with definite article requires "the" and a plural form. "Seven-cycles" preserves the root idea of sevenness while reflecting the plural absolute form. |
