waters
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine plural (formally dual), absolute state; common noun functioning as a collective. |
| Rendering Rationale | Though functioning as a collective substance noun, the form is morphologically plural (formally dual), so "waters" preserves the Hebrew number while reflecting the root idea of flowing, abundant liquid. |
