purchase-price
| Morphological Notes | Masculine noun (מְחִיר), occurring בעיקר as singular absolute (HNcmsa) and singular construct (HNcmsc), with one plural form (HNp). No pronominal suffixes in the cited forms. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Purchase-price" preserves the commercial sense inherent in the root מכר (to sell/trade) while highlighting the exchange value involved in a transaction. The form is a masculine singular noun (with both absolute and construct occurrences), so the singular English rendering reflects its grammatical number. |
