SIBI-P1 `H3802-20`

and with a shoulder

Root	כתף (k-t-p)
Core Meanings	shoulder, side, lateral support, bearing place
Semantic Range	shoulder of a person, upper arm area, side or flank of a structure, lateral projection, supporting surface
Conceptual Significance	The shoulder in biblical thought symbolizes strength, burden-bearing, and responsibility, and by extension can denote the supportive side of a structure. It conveys the idea of carrying or sustaining weight, whether literal or figurative.
Morphological Notes	Conjunction וּ + preposition בְּ + noun כָּתֵף (common feminine singular absolute). No article; singular and indefinite; no pronominal suffix.
Rendering Rationale	The noun כָּתֵף is a feminine singular absolute form meaning "shoulder" or "side," here preceded by the conjunction וּ ("and") and the preposition בְּ ("with/on"). The rendering "and with a shoulder" preserves the singular feminine sense and reflects the concrete image of the shoulder as the place of bearing or support, which underlies the root’s meaning.
