SIBI-P1 H948-01

bleached-white linen

Morphological NotesCommon masculine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcmsa); a material noun referring to a specific type of whitened textile.
Rendering RationaleThe noun derives from a root meaning "to bleach" or "to be white," so "bleached-white linen" preserves the core idea of whitened fabric rather than simply "fine linen." The form is masculine singular absolute (HNcmsa), reflected in the singular material noun rendering without added suffixes or pluralization.
