light
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common, masculine singular, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The masculine singular noun אוֹר denotes the state or quality of shining or illumination, derived directly from the root meaning "to shine." Rendering it as "light" preserves the core idea of brightness or illumination without narrowing it to a specific source. |
