and a hard-struck stone

Morphological NotesConjunction וְ ("and") + common masculine singular noun in the absolute state (Ncmsa). No article or pronominal suffix; singular and masculine in form.
Rendering RationaleThe noun יָהֲלֹם (yahălôm) derives from the root הלם, "to strike" or "hammer," reflecting the idea of a stone formed or characterized by hardness. Rendering it as "hard-struck stone" preserves the connection to striking/hammering while reflecting the masculine singular absolute form, with the prefixed conjunction וְ meaning "and."
