SIBI-P1 Translation H4501-05
light-bearing stand
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular common noun, absolute state; mem-prefixed instrumental formation from נור. |
| Rendering Rationale | Derived from the root נור ('to shine, give light') with a mem-prefix indicating an instrument, this feminine singular noun denotes an object designed for giving or holding light. "Light-bearing stand" preserves the instrumental sense and the core idea of shining without importing later traditional terminology. |
