SIBI-P1 H6202-01
the neck-broken (feminine singular)
| Morphological Notes | Qal passive participle, feminine singular absolute, with prefixed definite article (הָ). Functions adjectivally to describe a feminine noun (e.g., a heifer). |
| Rendering Rationale | The root ערף refers to the neck or nape and by extension the act of breaking the neck. This form is a Qal passive participle feminine singular with the definite article, so "the neck-broken" preserves both the passive sense (having had the neck broken) and the feminine singular grammatical form. |
