primeval roaring depths
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common; plural absolute; typically feminine though grammatically marked as both; no pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The plural form preserves the noun’s number, while "roaring" reflects the root הום (to roar, be tumultuous). "Primeval depths" captures the sense of vast, abyssal waters associated with the cosmic deep. |
