Nominal forms and construct relationships
A Hebrew noun should be learned with its gender, number and relevant forms, including absolute, construct and suffixed forms. Endings are important clues, but an irregular plural or a familiar-looking ending does not eliminate the need to know the lexical item. The plural of אִישׁ is אֲנָשִׁים, and the change cannot be recovered simply by attaching a regular ending to the visible singular. Keep grammatical description separate from the English meaning chosen in a particular passage.
A construct chain links nouns in a dependent relationship commonly represented with of. In דְּבַר הַמֶּלֶךְ, the first word is the construct form associated with דָּבָר, and the final noun determines the chain's definiteness. Do not add an independent article to the first construct noun merely because English uses the word the. The relationship can express possession, origin, material or another contextual connection; the English word of does not by itself resolve every interpretive question.
Not every construct form changes its visible pointing. The singular סֵפֶר can remain סֵפֶר in a construct expression. Other nouns show changes in vowels or endings. Learn an actual paradigm instead of applying one generalized vowel-reduction pattern to every noun. Feminine forms ending in he may show a construct ending in tav, as in תּוֹרַת, but that observation is a pattern to analyze, not permission to ignore irregular or contextual forms.
Pronominal suffixes also encode relationships. A suffix on a noun can indicate a possessor, while a suffix on a verb can function as an object. Identify the host and the actual suffix before translating. A pointed form such as בֵּיתָהּ differs from a similar-looking form without consonantal final he, so the small signs matter. Distinguish masculine, feminine and common-gender labels carefully; a grammatical gender is not a complete statement about a referent's social identity.
Adjectives normally agree with their nouns in gender, number and definiteness when used attributively. Biblical Hebrew does not preserve a Latin-style case-agreement system. Distinguish an attributive adjective from a predicate, and use word order, article patterns and context together. Check the resulting phrase in a complete clause so that accurate morphological labeling leads to an accurate translation rather than an isolated paradigm exercise.
