SIBI-P1 Translation H6612-02
naïve one
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun denotes a masculine singular person characterized by openness or susceptibility derived from the root פתה (“to be open, to be enticed”). “Naïve one” preserves both the personal sense and the root idea of unguarded openness rather than innate foolishness. |
