SIBI-P1 H1785-01
pounding-tower
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in the absolute state; no article or pronominal suffix attached. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is masculine singular absolute (HNcmsa), so it is rendered as a singular concrete object. By translating it as "pounding-tower," the rendering preserves the root sense of crushing or pounding (דוק) while reflecting its function as a siege structure used to batter fortifications. |
