SIBI-P1 Translation H5035-02
with skin-bag lyres
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב + masculine plural absolute noun (common). |
| Rendering Rationale | The plural masculine noun נְבָלִים is rendered in the plural, and the prefixed בִּ is reflected as "with." "Skin-bag lyres" preserves the root imagery of a sagging skin-vessel (from נבל) while reflecting the extended meaning of a stringed instrument shaped like such a vessel. |
