flax fibers
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common, masculine plural, absolute; no pronominal suffix; prefixed conjunction וּ ('and') in surface form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root פשת, referring to fibers stripped from the flax plant. The masculine plural absolute form is reflected with a simple plural rendering, highlighting the material substance rather than a finished garment. |
