deep-round measures

Root	כור (k-w-r)
Core Meanings	hollow, round vessel, smelting furnace, deep container, large measure
Semantic Range	A large dry measure (approximately a cor), a substantial unit of capacity for grain or other commodities; by extension, large quantities measured by such units.
Conceptual Significance	The כֹּר represents an important economic and agricultural unit in ancient Israel, reflecting systems of trade, taxation, temple provision, and royal supply. Its use highlights the material scale of blessing, judgment, or royal administration in biblical narratives.
Morphological Notes	Masculine common plural absolute noun (HNcmpa) from כֹּר (kdr). No pronominal suffix; functions as a quantitative plural.
Rendering Rationale	The noun כֹּר (kdr) denotes a large, round, hollow container used as a standard dry measure. Rendering it as "deep-round measures" preserves the underlying sense of a deep, rounded vessel inherent in the root כור while accurately reflecting the masculine common plural absolute form ("measures").
