like a free-flying swift
| Morphological Notes | Preposition כַ ("like/as") + feminine singular absolute noun דְּרוֹר. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun דְּרוֹר denotes a small, agile bird characterized by unrestrained flight, derived from the root meaning "to move freely." The prefixed כַ retains its comparative force ("like"), and the feminine singular noun is reflected as a single bird. |
