SIBI-P1 H3420-04

greenish-blight

Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun in the absolute state; no pronominal suffix. Occurs once (hapax legomenon).
Rendering RationaleThe noun derives from the root ירק, "to be green," and denotes a condition marked by unhealthy greenness or pallor. "Greenish-blight" preserves the root sense of greenness while conveying the destructive plant disease implied in context. The form is masculine singular absolute (HNcmsa), reflected in the singular English rendering without suffix.
