SIBI-P1 H8144-01

the crimson-dye

Morphological NotesNoun common masculine singular absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ־). Functions as a substantive referring to the scarlet/crimson dye or dyed material.
Rendering RationaleThe form is a masculine singular noun in the absolute state with the definite article ("the"). "Crimson-dye" preserves the concrete sense of שָׁנִי as the scarlet substance derived from the insect and the material colored by it, rather than merely an abstract color term, while accurately reflecting its singular, definite form.
