SIBI-P1 H5178-09

bronze-metal

Morphological NotesCommon feminine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcfsa). Functions as a material noun referring to metal substance, often collectively.
Rendering RationaleThe noun נְחֹשֶׁת is a feminine singular absolute form, denoting the material itself rather than a derived object. "Bronze-metal" preserves the core idea of a distinct, shining base metal (traditionally copper or bronze) while reflecting the singular, material sense of the Hebrew form.
