and blue-dye
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וּ + noun, common feminine singular absolute (Ncfsa). No pronominal suffix; singular form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun תְּכֵלֶת is feminine singular absolute, here prefixed with the conjunction וּ (“and”). Rendering it as “blue-dye” preserves its concrete sense as the specific dye or dyed material rather than a vague color term, while “and” reflects the prefixed conjunction. |
