SIBI-P1 Translation H3117-20
like a day
| Morphological Notes | Prefixed preposition כְּ ("like/as") + masculine singular common noun absolute. |
| Rendering Rationale | The base noun יוֹם denotes a day as a unit of time (daylight period or full cycle). The prefixed כְּ adds the comparative sense "like/as," and the masculine singular absolute form is preserved as the singular "day." |
