SIBI-P1 H4842-03
a compounded ointment
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular noun in the absolute state (miqtal pattern), denoting the product of the action of the root—something compounded or mixed. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root רקח, meaning "to mix or compound" aromatic substances. Rendering it as "a compounded ointment" preserves the idea of a carefully blended mixture and reflects the feminine singular absolute form (HNcfsa) by using a singular concrete noun. |
