shields
A large shield, especially one designed to cover and protect the entire body; occasionally refers to a defensive or protective object. In rare contexts may denote a piercing implement, such as a hook, but predominantly used for military equipment. The term can also, in other forms, relate to the concept of coldness or sharpness (piercing quality), though this is not the main sense in biblical text.

SIBI-P1 Translation H6793-07
body-shields
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine plural absolute; from צִנָּה (large shield). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun צִנָּה derives from the root צנן conveying sharpness or piercing, reflected metaphorically in a large protective shield. The plural feminine absolute form צִנּוֹת is rendered "body-shields" to preserve both the intensive protective sense and the plural morphology. |
