SIBI-P1 Translation H3117-77
day by day
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common masculine plural absolute with directional ה suffix (adverbial force). |
| Rendering Rationale | The base noun יוֹם means "day"; the masculine plural form יָמִים with the directional ה suffix functions adverbially, conveying movement or recurrence toward days—hence an iterative sense, "day by day." This preserves both the plural morphology and the temporal root meaning. |
