lip
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common, feminine singular, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The feminine singular absolute noun derives from the root meaning "boundary" or "edge," with its primary concrete sense being the anatomical lip as the boundary of the mouth. "Lip" preserves the core image while allowing natural extension to edge or speech in broader usage. |
