SIBI-P1 Translation H6438-05
cornerstone
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common feminine singular (absolute; also occurs with pronominal suffix in some forms). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root meaning "to turn," denoting the place where a structure turns—a corner. "Cornerstone" preserves the architectural sense while allowing for its extended meaning as a principal or leading element, and reflects the feminine singular noun form. |
