SIBI-P1 H3709-39
from the hollow-palm of
| Morphological Notes | Preposition מִן ("from") prefixed to כַּף, a feminine singular noun in construct state (Ncfsc). The construct form links it to a following noun ("of …"). |
| Rendering Rationale | כַּף (feminine singular construct) denotes the hollow or curved palm, derived from the root כפף "to bend/curve." The prefixed מִן means "from," and the construct state requires a following noun, hence "from the hollow-palm of," preserving both the root sense of curvature and the feminine singular construct form. |
