SIBI-P1 Translation H7175-03
the split-plank
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular absolute with definite article (הַקֶּרֶשׁ). |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the definite masculine singular noun with prefixed article (הַ), preserving the root sense of something split or broken off from a larger piece of wood. "Split-plank" keeps the construction-oriented meaning while foregrounding the etymological idea of a timber cut from a log. |
