    In Daniel 8:9, the feminine singular absolute form qualifies the horn that comes out from one of them. The APB renders the clause "came a little horn" and then describes that horn as growing exceedingly great.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Daniel 8:9, the APB presents the clause as "came a little horn." This rendering is treated as confirmation of the verse's description rather than a precise mapping of each English word.
