SIBI-P1 H5178-03
the copper-metal
| Morphological Notes | Noun common feminine singular absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ). No pronominal suffix. The dagesh in נ reflects assimilation of the article. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form הַנְּחֹשֶׁת is a feminine singular noun with the definite article, meaning "the copper/bronze." Rendering it as "the copper-metal" preserves the material sense rooted in נחשׁ while reflecting the definite article ("the") and the singular noun form. |
