SIBI-P1 H953-05
cistern-pits
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine noun, plural absolute (HNcmpa). No pronominal suffix; functions as a simple masculine plural noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בּוֹר denotes a hollowed cavity in the ground, often man-made for storing water or used as a prison. Rendering it "cistern-pits" preserves the core idea of an excavated hollow while reflecting the masculine plural absolute form (HNcmpa) indicated in the morphology. |
