SIBI-P1 Translation H5550-02
piled-up siege ramp
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular common noun, absolute state; derived from the participial form of סלל but functioning as a concrete noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root סלל (to pile up, heap up) and denotes the structure produced by that action. As a feminine singular noun formed from an active participle used passively, it refers to the thing that has been built up—specifically a siege ramp constructed by piling earth. |
