SIBI-P1 H8510-02
mound-of
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun; most occurrences are in the construct state (cmsc). Some instances function as a proper noun (place name). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun תֵּל derives from the root תלל, conveying the idea of heaping or piling up. In the HNcmsc form it is a masculine singular noun in the construct state, so "mound-of" preserves both the core image of a raised heap and the grammatical requirement of connection to a following noun; in proper-name usage (HNp) it functions as the place-name "Tel," reflecting a mound-settlement. |
