as one
| Morphological Notes | Preposition כְּ ("as/like") + masculine singular cardinal numeral אֶחָד in construct form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form כְּאַחַד consists of the preposition כְּ ("as/like") prefixed to the masculine singular cardinal אֶחָד ("one"). Rendering it "as one" preserves both the comparative prefix and the root sense of unity and singularity inherent in אחד. |
