SIBI-P1 Translation H5869-45
like an eye of
| Morphological Notes | Preposition כְּ + common noun, singular construct; gender both; no article or suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form consists of the preposition כְּ ("like/as") attached to עֵין in the singular construct state, yielding "like an eye of" and preserving the primary concrete sense of the root as the organ of seeing. The construct state is reflected by retaining "of" to signal linkage to a following noun. |
