SIBI-P1 H4701-02
the winding-turban
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common feminine singular absolute with prefixed definite article (הַ־); gemination in מּ reflects assimilation of the article. Occurs as a singular definite object, referring to a specific official headdress. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מִצְנֶפֶת derives from the root צנף, meaning "to wrap" or "to wind," referring to a headdress formed by winding cloth. The form is a feminine singular absolute noun with the definite article ("the"), so "the winding-turban" preserves both the root sense of wrapped fabric and the definite singular morphology. |
