SIBI-P1 H7827-01
and shell-spice
| Morphological Notes | Common feminine singular noun in the absolute state with prefixed conjunction וּ ("and"). Occurs once (Exod 30:34) as part of the sacred incense ingredients. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is feminine singular absolute with a prefixed conjunction, hence "and shell-spice." The rendering preserves the likely root idea of hardness or shell-like substance (connected with שחל) while reflecting the singular feminine form used in the incense formula. |
