for burning
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ל ("to/for") + feminine singular absolute noun שְׂרֵפָה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The feminine singular noun שְׂרֵפָה denotes the act or result of burning from the root שרף. The prefixed ל marks purpose or direction, yielding "for burning," which preserves both the root meaning and the singular feminine form. |
