encircling forehead-bands
| Morphological Notes | Feminine plural common noun, absolute state; appears with prefixed preposition לְ in surface form but lexeme itself is plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from a root meaning "to encircle," so "encircling" preserves the core verbal idea while "forehead-bands" reflects its function as an ornamental band worn around the forehead. The plural form is maintained in English. |
