SIBI-P1 Translation H2975-06
like a river
| Morphological Notes | Preposition כ (“like/as”) prefixed to masculine singular noun (proper name) יְאֹר. |
| Rendering Rationale | The prefixed כ conveys comparison (“like/as”), attached to יְאֹר, a noun denoting a major river or watercourse. Rendering it as “like a river” preserves both the comparative prefix and the core meaning of the noun without importing specific contextual identification. |
