SIBI-P1 H68-36
and a building-stone
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וָ + noun common feminine singular absolute (Ncfsa). No pronominal suffix; absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אֶבֶן is a feminine singular absolute meaning “stone,” traditionally connected to the root בנה (to build). Rendering it as “building-stone” preserves this constructive sense inherent in the root tradition, while the prefixed וָ is reflected by “and.” The singular feminine form is maintained with the singular noun “stone.” |
