cage-of

Morphological NotesMasculine singular noun; commonly מופיע in construct state (cmsc), indicating possession or association ("cage of …"). One occurrence appears in the plural form (HNp), meaning "cages."
Rendering RationaleThe noun כְּלוּב (kᵉlûb) denotes an enclosed structure used for trapping or containing, such as a bird-trap or wicker cage. The morphology HNcmsc indicates a masculine singular noun in construct state, so "cage-of" preserves both its singular masculine form and its bound relationship to a following noun.
