SIBI-P1 Translation H5104-13
from river-of
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן (from) + masculine singular noun in construct state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun נָהָר derives from the root meaning "to flow/stream," denoting a large flowing river. The construct singular form requires a relational sense ("river-of"), and the prefixed מִן adds "from," yielding "from river-of." |
