SIBI-P1 Translation H755-01
his bending-joints
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic common noun, feminine plural construct + 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root רכב in the sense of bending, denoting the joint that enables bending of the leg. The feminine plural construct with a 3ms suffix is preserved as the plural possessive "his," yielding "his bending-joints." |
