polished tablets

Morphological NotesCommon masculine noun from לוּחַ (lûaḥ); forms attested here are masculine plural absolute (cmpa) and masculine plural construct (cmpc). In construct, it functions as "tablets of …" followed by a genitive.
Rendering RationaleThe noun derives from a root likely meaning "to glisten" or "to polish," referring to a smooth, prepared surface suitable for writing. Rendering it as "polished tablets" preserves this root sense while accurately reflecting the masculine plural form (absolute or construct) indicated by the morphology.
