polished tablets of
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine plural, construct state (HNcmpc/cmpa forms attested). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun לוּחַ denotes a smooth, polished slab suitable for inscription; the plural construct form requires the relational sense "of," yielding "polished tablets of." The rendering preserves both the root idea of smoothness/polish and the masculine plural construct morphology. |
