SIBI-P1 Translation H1248-03
son
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common, masculine singular, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is a masculine singular absolute noun from the Aramaic root בר meaning 'son.' Without contextual indicators for the alternate homograph ('pure' or 'grain'), the primary root sense 'son' is preserved in a simple singular form. |
