A metallic or sharp, clanging or rattling sound; by extension, a musical instrument producing such a clanging sound (cymbal), and, in some contexts, objects or creatures associated with this kind of noise. Refers concretely to an ancient percussion instrument (cymbal), but may also metaphorically denote buzzing or whirring noises, such as those made by insects (locusts/crickets), and can refer to a harpoon or spear, likely referencing the sound it emits in use or motion.

the clanging cymbal
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular absolute with definite article (הַצְּלָצַל). |
| Rendering Rationale | The reduplicated noun from צלל denotes something characterized by repeated ringing or clanging. Rendering it as "clanging cymbal" preserves the sound-based root meaning while reflecting its concrete masculine singular form with the definite article. |
