SIBI-P1 Translation H4129-01
known-one
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular, absolute state; substantival formation from the root ידע indicating a recognized person. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from ידע (“to know”) and functions as a substantival form meaning “one who is known.” Rendering it as “known-one” preserves the participial sense and reflects the masculine singular absolute form without importing contextual specificity. |
