aromatic spices

Morphological NotesCommon masculine plural noun in the absolute state (HNcmpa), from the singular סַם ("aromatic substance").
Rendering RationaleThe noun derives from a root associated with sweet smell and fragrance. Rendering it as "aromatic spices" preserves the idea of fragrant substances rather than merely culinary seasonings. The form is masculine plural absolute, which is reflected in the plural English expression.
