SIBI-P1 H4245-03
a sickness
| Morphological Notes | Common feminine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcfsa), derived from the verbal root חלה; occurs here without suffixes or construct relationship. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root חלה, meaning "to be weak" or "to become sick," and thus denotes a state of illness or bodily weakness. The morphology (common feminine singular absolute) is reflected by the singular form "a sickness," preserving its individual, concrete sense in context. |
