SIBI-P1 Translation H8141-41
year-cycle
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common, feminine singular, absolute state; may appear with prefixed conjunction וְ or preposition בְ but the base form is singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The feminine singular absolute noun denotes one completed cycle of seasonal repetition, reflecting the root idea of repetition and cyclical change. "Year-cycle" preserves the sense of an annually recurring period rather than a generic time span. |
